| [2]He droue me foorth and led me, yea into darknesse, but not into light |
[2]He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. |
| [3]Against me is he turned, he turneth his hande dayly against me |

| [4]My flesh and my skinne hath he made olde, and my bones hath he bruised |
[4]My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. |
| [5]He hath buylded rounde about me, and closed me in with gall and trauaile |

| [6]He hath set me in darknesse, as they that be dead for euer |

| [7]He hath so hedged me in, that I can not get out, and hath layde heauie linkes vpon me |
[7]He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy. |
| [8]Though I crye and call pitiously, yet heareth he not my prayer |
[8]Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer. |
| [9]He hath stopped vp my wayes with foure squared stones, and made my pathes crooked |
[9]He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked. |
| [10]He layeth wayte for me lyke a beare, and as a lion in a hole |
[10]He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places. |
| [11]He hath marred my wayes, and broken me in peeces, he hath layde me waste altogether |
[11]He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate. |
| [12]He hath bent his bowe, and made me as it were a marke to shoote at |
[12]He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. |
| [13]The arrowes of his quiuer hath he shot, euen into my reynes |
[13]He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. |
| [14]I am laughed to scorne of all my people, they make songues vpon me all the day long |
[14]I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day. |
| [15]He hath filled me with bitternesse, and geuen me wormewood to drinke |
[15]He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood. |
| [16]He hath smitten my teeth in peeces with stones, and roulled me in the dust |
[16]He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes. |
| [17]He hath put my soule out of rest, I forget all good thinges |
[17]And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity. |
| [18]I thought in my selfe, I am vndone, there is no hope for me in the Lorde |
[18]And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD: |
| [19]O remember yet my miserie and my trouble, the wormewood and the gall |
[19]Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. |
| [20]Yea thou shalt remember them, for my soule melteth away in me |
[20]My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. |
| [21]Whyle I consider these thinges in my heart, I get a hope agayne |
[21]This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. |
| [22][namely] it is of the Lordes mercies that we are not vtterly consumed, for truely his pitifull compassion hath not ceassed |
[22]It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. |
| [23]Newe mercyes shall the Lord shewe vpon thee early in the day springing, (O Lorde) great is thy faythfulnesse |
[23]They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. |
| [24]The Lorde is my portion saith my soule therefore wyll I hope in hym |
[24]The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. |
| [25]O howe good is the Lord vnto them that put their trust in hym, and to the soule that seeketh after hym |
[25]The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. |
| [26]The good man with stilnesse and pacience, taryeth for the health of the Lorde |
[26]It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. |
| [27]O howe good is it for a man to take the yoke vpon him from his youth vp |
[27]It is good for a man that he bear the yoke of his youth. |
| [28]He sitteth alone, he holdeth hym styll, because he hath taken [the Lordes yoke] vpon hym |
[28]He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him. |
| [29]He layeth his face vpon the earth, if there happen to be any hope |
[29]He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope. |
| [30]He offreth his cheeke to the smyter, he wyll be content with reproffes |
[30]He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach. |
| [31]For the Lord wil not forsake for euer |
[31]For the LORD will not cast off for ever: |
| [32]But though he punishe, yet according to the multitude of his mercies he receaueth to grace agayne |
[32]But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. |
| [33]For he doth not plague willingly, and afflict the chyldren of men |
[33]For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. |
| [34]To treade all the prysoners of the earth vnder his feete |
[34]To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth. |
| [35]To moue the iudgement of man before the most highest |
[35]To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High, |
| [36]To condemne a man in his cause: the Lord hath not pleasure in such thinges |
[36]To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approveth not. |
| [37]What is he then that saith, there should some thing be done without the Lordes commaundement |
[37]Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? |
| [38]Out of the mouth of the most highest goeth not euyll and good |
[38]Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? |
| [39]Wherefore then murmureth the liuing man? let hym murmure at his owne sinne |
[39]Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? |
| [40]Let vs looke well vpon our wayes, and remember our selues, and turne agayne to the Lorde |

| [46]All our enemies gape vpon vs |
[46]All our enemies have opened their mouths against us. |
| [47]Feare and pit is come vpon vs, yea deceipt and destruction |
[47]Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction. |
| [48]Whole riuers of water gushe out of mine eyes for the hurt of my people |
[48]Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people. |
| [49]Myne eyes runne and cannot ceasse, for there is no rest |
[49]Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission. |
| [50]O Lorde, when wylt thou looke downe from heauen and consider |
[50]Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven. |
| [51]Mine eyes breaketh my heart, because of all the daughters of my citie |
[51]Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city. |
| [52]Mine enemies hunted me out sharply like a byrde, yea & that without a cause |

| [53]They haue put downe my life into a pit, and they haue cast stones vpon me |

| [54]They haue powred water vpon my head: then thought I, nowe am I vndone |
[54]Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off. |
| [55]I called vpon thy name O Lorde out of the deepe pit |
[55]I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon. |
| [56]Thou hast heard my voyce, and hast not turned away thyne eares from my sighing and crying |
[56]Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. |
| [57]Thou hast inclyned thy selfe vnto me when I called vpon thee: and hast said, feare not |
[57]Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not. |
| [58]Thou (O Lorde) hast mayntayned the cause of my soule, and hast redeemed my lyfe |
[58]O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. |
| [59]O Lorde, thou hast seene my wrong, take thou my cause vpon thee |
[59]O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause. |
| [60]Thou hast well considered howe they go about to do me harme, and that all their counsels are against me |
[60]Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me. |
| [61]Thou hast hearde their despitefull wordes O Lorde, yea and all the imaginations against me |
[61]Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me; |
| [62]The lippes of mine enemies, and their deuises that they take against me al the day long |
[62]The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day. |
| [63]Thou seest also their sitting downe and their rising vp, they make their songes of nothing but of me |

| [64]Rewarde them, O Lorde, according to the workes of their handes |
[64]Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands. |
| [65]Geue them an obstinate heart, euen thy curse |

| [66]Persecute them O Lorde with thyne indignation, and roote them out from vnder the heauen |
[66]Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD. |
