God

Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my enemies.

Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.

In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.

And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and their back bend thou down always.

Let their habitation be made desolate: and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles.

Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: and let them not come into thy justice.

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; and with the just let them not be written.

But I am poor and sorrowful: thy salvation, O God, hath set me up.

I will praise the name of God with a canticle: and I will magnify him with praise.

And it shall please God better than a young calf, that bringeth forth horns and hoofs.

Let the poor see and rejoice: seek ye God, and your soul shall live.

For the Lord hath heard the poor: and hath not despised his prisoners.

Let the heavens and the earth praise him; the sea, and every thing that creepeth therein.

Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him.

Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.

But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

¶ But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
