<\/br><strong>2<\/strong> He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD: <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> It is of the LORD&#8217;s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> It is good for a man that he bear the yoke of his youth. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach. <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> For the LORD will not cast off for ever: <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. <\/br><strong>34<\/strong> To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth. <\/br><strong>35<\/strong> To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High, <\/br><strong>36<\/strong> To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approveth not. <\/br><strong>37<\/strong> Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? <\/br><strong>38<\/strong> Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? <\/br><strong>39<\/strong> Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? <\/br><strong>40<\/strong> Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. <\/br><strong>41<\/strong> Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. <\/br><strong>42<\/strong> We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned. <\/br><strong>43<\/strong> Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied. <\/br><strong>44<\/strong> Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through. <\/br><strong>45<\/strong> Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people. <\/br><strong>46<\/strong> All our enemies have opened their mouths against us. <\/br><strong>47<\/strong> Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction. <\/br><strong>48<\/strong> Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people. <\/br><strong>49<\/strong> Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission. <\/br><strong>50<\/strong> Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven. <\/br><strong>51<\/strong> Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city. <\/br><strong>52<\/strong> Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause. <\/br><strong>53<\/strong> They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me. <\/br><strong>54<\/strong> Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off. <\/br><strong>55<\/strong> I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon. <\/br><strong>56<\/strong> Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. <\/br><strong>57<\/strong> Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not. <\/br><strong>58<\/strong> O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. <\/br><strong>59<\/strong> O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause. <\/br><strong>60<\/strong> Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me. <\/br><strong>61<\/strong> Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me; <\/br><strong>62<\/strong> The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day. <\/br><strong>63<\/strong> Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick. <\/br><strong>64<\/strong> Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands. <\/br><strong>65<\/strong> Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them. <\/br><strong>66<\/strong> Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD. <\/br><script
