|
|
2. My God, I cry out during the day, but you do not answer, and during the night my prayers do not let up.

|
|

10. I was cast H7993 upon H5921 thee from the womb H4480 H7358 : thou H859 art my God H410 from my mother H517 's belly H4480 H990 .
|

|
|

|
12. Many H7227 bulls H6499 have compassed H5437 me: strong H47 bulls of Bashan H1316 have beset me round H3803 .
|
|
13. They open their mouths to devour me like a roaring lion that rips its prey.
|
13. They gaped H6475 upon H5921 me with their mouths H6310 , as a ravening H2963 and a roaring H7580 lion H738 .

|
14. I am poured out H8210 like water H4325 , and all H3605 my bones H6106 are out of joint H6504 : my heart H3820 is H1961 like wax H1749 ; it is melted H4549 in the midst H8432 of my bowels H4578 .
|
|
15. The roof of my mouth is as dry as a piece of pottery; my tongue sticks to my gums. You set me in the dust of death.
|
15. My strength H3581 is dried up H3001 like a potsherd H2789 ; and my tongue H3956 cleaveth H1692 to my jaws H4455 ; and thou hast brought H8239 me into the dust H6083 of death H4194 .
|
|
16. Yes, wild dogs surround me� a gang of evil men crowd around me; like a lion they pin my hands and feet.
|
16. For H3588 dogs H3611 have compassed H5437 me : the assembly H5712 of the wicked H7489 have enclosed H5362 me : they pierced H738 my hands H3027 and my feet H7272 .
|
|
17. I can count all my bones; my enemies are gloating over me in triumph.
|
17. I may tell H5608 all H3605 my bones H6106 : they H1992 look H5027 and stare H7200 upon me.
|
|
18. They are dividing up my clothes among themselves; they are rolling dice for my garments.
|
18. They part H2505 my garments H899 among them , and cast H5307 lots H1486 upon H5921 my vesture H3830 .
|
|
19. But you, O LORD, do not remain far away! You are my source of strength! Hurry and help me!
|
19. But be not H408 thou H859 far H7368 from me , O LORD H3068 : O my strength H360 , haste H2363 thee to help H5833 me.
|
|
20. Deliver me from the sword! Save my life from the claws of the wild dogs!
|
20. Deliver H5337 my soul H5315 from the sword H4480 H2719 ; my darling H3173 from the power H4480 H3027 of the dog H3611 .
|

21. Rescue me from the mouth of the lion, and from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered me!

21. Save H3467 me from the lion H738 's mouth H4480 H6310 : for thou hast heard H6030 me from the horns H4480 H7161 of the unicorns H7214 .
|
|
22. I will declare your name to my countrymen! In the middle of the assembly I will praise you!
|

|
|
23. You loyal followers of the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! All you descendants of Israel, stand in awe of him!
|
23. Ye that fear H3373 the LORD H3068 , praise H1984 him; all H3605 ye the seed H2233 of Jacob H3290 , glorify H3513 him ; and fear H1481 H4480 him, all H3605 ye the seed H2233 of Israel H3478 .

24. For he did not despise or detest the suffering of the oppressed; he did not ignore him; when he cried out to him, he responded.
|
24. For H3588 he hath not H3808 despised H959 nor H3808 abhorred H8262 the affliction H6039 of the afflicted H6041 ; neither H3808 hath he hid H5641 his face H6440 from H4480 him ; but when he cried H7768 unto H413 him , he heard H8085 .
|
|
25. You are the reason I offer praise in the great assembly; I will fulfill my promises before the LORD's loyal followers.
|
25. My praise H8416 shall be of H4480 H854 thee in the great H7227 congregation H6951 : I will pay H7999 my vows H5088 before H5048 them that fear H3373 him.
|
|
26. Let the oppressed eat and be filled! Let those who seek his help praise the LORD! May you live forever!
|
26. The meek H6035 shall eat H398 and be satisfied H7646 : they shall praise H1984 the LORD H3068 that seek H1875 him : your heart H3824 shall live H2421 forever H5703 .
|
|
27. Let all the people of the earth acknowledge the LORD and turn to him! Let all the nations worship you!
|
27. All H3605 the ends H657 of the world H776 shall remember H2142 and turn H7725 unto H413 the LORD H3068 : and all H3605 the kindreds H4940 of the nations H1471 shall worship H7812 before H6440 thee.
|
|
28. For the LORD is king and rules over the nations.
|
28. For H3588 the kingdom H4410 is the LORD H3068 's : and he is the governor H4910 among the nations H1471 .
|
|
29. All of the thriving people of the earth will join the celebration and worship; all those who are descending into the grave will bow before him, including those who cannot preserve their lives.
|
29. All H3605 they that be fat H1879 upon earth H776 shall eat H398 and worship H7812 : all H3605 they that go down H3381 to the dust H6083 shall bow H3766 before H6440 him : and none H3808 can keep alive H2421 his own soul H5315 .
|
|
30. A whole generation will serve him; they will tell the next generation about the sovereign Lord.
