3I am stuck fast in deep mire, and there is no standing: I am come in to the depths of the sea, and a storm has overwhelmed me.
4I am weary of crying, my throat has become hoarse; Mine eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.
5They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: My enemies that persecute me unrighteously are strengthened: Then I restored that which I took not away.
6O God, thou knowest my foolishness; And my transgressions are not hidden from thee.
7Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek thee, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.
8For I have suffered reproach for thy sake; Shame has covered my face.
9I became strange to my brethren, And a stranger to my mother’s children.
10For the zeal of thy house has eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
11And I bowed down my soul with fasting, And that was made my reproach.
12And I put on sackcloth for my covering; And I became a proverb to them.
13They that sit in the gate talked against me, And they that drank wine sang against me.
14But I will cry to thee, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, In the truth of thy salvation.
15Save me from the mire, that I stick not in it: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.
16Let not the waterflood drown me, Nor let the deep swallow me up; Neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.
17Hear me, O Lord; for thy mercy is good: According to the multitude of thy compassions look upon me.
18And turn not away thy face from thy servant; For I am afflicted: hear me speedily.
19Draw nigh to my soul and redeem it: Deliver me because of mine enemies.
20For thou knowest my reproach, And my shame, and my confusion; All that afflict me are before thee.
21My soul has waited for reproach and misery; And I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; And for one to comfort me, but I found none.
22They gave me also gall for my food, And made me drink vinegar for my thirst.
