To the choirmaster. Set to “Lilies.” A psalm of David.

Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my soul.

I sink in deep mire—there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood sweeps over me.

I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched; my eyes grow dim waiting for my God.

More numerous than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause; mighty are those who seek my ruin—false enemies; though I have taken nothing, yet I must restore.

God, you know my reproach and my shame; my fault is not hidden from you.

Let not those who wait for you be put to shame because of me, O LORD of hosts; let not those who seek you be dishonored on my account, O God of Israel.

For your sake I bear reproach; shame has covered my face.

I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s sons.

For zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen upon me.

I humbled my soul with fasting, and that became to me a reproach.

I made sackcloth my clothing; I became a byword to them.

Those who sit at the gate talk of me; and the drunkards make songs about me. But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD—at a time of favor; O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love, answer me in the truth of your salvation.

Deliver me from sinking in the mire, and do not let me drown; rescue me from my enemies and from the deep waters.

Do not let the torrent sweep me away, nor let the deep swallow me up, nor let the pit close its mouth over me.

Answer me, O LORD, for your steadfast love is good; in the greatness of your mercy, turn to me.

Do not hide your face from your servant; for I am in distress—answer me quickly.

Draw near to my soul and redeem it; ransom me for the sake of my enemies.

You know my reproach and my shame and my disgrace; all my adversaries are before you.

Reproach has broken my heart; I am sick and bowed down. I looked for one to show pity, but there was none; for consolers, and I found none.

They put poison into my food; and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

May their table before them be a snare; may it become a trap.

May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see; may their loins forever tremble.

Pour out your wrath upon them, and let your burning anger overtake them.

Let their habitation be desolate; let no one dwell in their tents.

For you are the one who struck them; pursue them—let the tale of their joys be turned to mourning.

Lay their iniquity upon them; do not let them come into your righteousness.

Blot them out of the book of life; let them not be written among the righteous. But as for me, I am poor and needy—let your salvation, O God, lift me up.

I will praise the name of God with a song and magnify him with thanksgiving.

This will please the LORD more than an ox or a bull that has horns and hoofs.

Let the afflicted see and be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive.

For the LORD hears the needy, and his prisoners he does not despise.

Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that creeps in them.

For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah; they shall dwell there and possess it.
