STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 אֲנִי הַגֶּבֶר רָאָה עֳנִי בְּשֵׁבֶט עֶבְרָתֹו	1 I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2 אֹותִי נָהַג וַיֹּלַךְ חֹשֶׁךְ וְלֹא־אֹור	2 He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
3 אַךְ בִּי יָשֻׁב יַהֲפֹךְ יָדֹו כָּל־הַיֹּום׃ ס	3 Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.
4 בִּלָּה בְשָׂרִי וְעֹורִי שִׁבַּר עַצְמֹותָי	4 My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
5 בָּנָה עָלַי וַיַּקַּף רֹאשׁ וּתְלָאָה	5 He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
6 בְּמַחֲשַׁכִּים הֹושִׁיבַנִי כְּמֵתֵי עֹולָם׃ ס	6 He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
7 גָּדַר בַּעֲדִי וְלֹא אֵצֵא הִכְבִּיד נְחָשְׁתִּי	7 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
8 גַּם כִּי אֶזְעַק וַאֲשַׁוֵּעַ שָׂתַם תְּפִלָּתִי	8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
9 גָּדַר דְּרָכַי בְּגָזִית נְתִיבֹתַי עִוָּה׃ ס	9 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
10 דֹּב אֹרֵב הוּא לִי [אַרְיֵה כ] (אֲרִי ק) בְּמִסְתָּרִים	10 He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
11 דְּרָכַי סֹורֵר וַיְפַשְּׁחֵנִי שָׂמַנִי שֹׁמֵם	11 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
12 דָּרַךְ קַשְׁתֹּו וַיַּצִּיבֵנִי כַּמַּטָּרָא לַחֵץ׃ ס	12 He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13 הֵבִיא בְּכִלְיֹותָי בְּנֵי אַשְׁפָּתֹו	13 He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
14 הָיִיתִי שְּׂחֹק לְכָל־עַמִּי נְגִינָתָם כָּל־הַיֹּום	14 I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
15 הִשְׂבִּיעַנִי בַמְּרֹורִים הִרְוַנִי לַעֲנָה׃ ס	15 He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
16 וַיַּגְרֵס בֶּחָצָץ שִׁנָּי הִכְפִּישַׁנִי בָּאֵפֶר	16 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
17 וַתִּזְנַח מִשָּׁלֹום נַפְשִׁי נָשִׁיתִי טֹובָה	17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
18 וָאֹמַר אָבַד נִצְחִי וְתֹוחַלְתִּי מֵיְהוָה׃ ס	18 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:
19 זְכָר־עָנְיִי וּמְרוּדִי לַעֲנָה וָרֹאשׁ	19 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20 זָכֹור תִּזְכֹּור [וְתָשִׁיחַ כ] (וְתָשֹׁוחַ ק) עָלַי נַפְשִׁי	20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21 זֹאת אָשִׁיב אֶל־לִבִּי עַל־כֵּן אֹוחִיל׃ ס	21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 חַסְדֵי יְהוָה כִּי לֹא־תָמְנוּ כִּי לֹא־כָלוּ רַחֲמָיו	22 It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 חֲדָשִׁים לַבְּקָרִים רַבָּה אֱמוּנָתֶךָ	23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 חֶלְקִי יְהוָה אָמְרָה נַפְשִׁי עַל־כֵּן אֹוחִיל לֹו׃ ס	24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 טֹוב יְהוָה לְקֹוָו לְנֶפֶשׁ תִּדְרְשֶׁנּוּ	25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 טֹוב וְיָחִיל וְדוּמָם לִתְשׁוּעַת יְהוָה	26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
27 טֹוב לַגֶּבֶר כִּי־יִשָּׂא עֹל בִּנְעוּרָיו׃ ס	27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28 יֵשֵׁב בָּדָד וְיִדֹּם כִּי נָטַל עָלָיו	28 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
29 יִתֵּן בֶּעָפָר פִּיהוּ אוּלַי יֵשׁ תִּקְוָה	29 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
30 יִתֵּן לְמַכֵּהוּ לֶחִי יִשְׂבַּע בְּחֶרְפָּה׃ ס	30 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
31 כִּי לֹא יִזְנַח לְעֹולָם אֲדֹנָי	31 For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
32 כִּי אִם־הֹוגָה וְרִחַם כְּרֹב [חַסְדֹּו כ] (חֲסָדָיו׃ ק)	32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
33 כִּי לֹא עִנָּה מִלִּבֹּו וַיַּגֶּה בְּנֵי־אִישׁ׃ ס	33 For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
34 לְדַכֵּא תַּחַת רַגְלָיו כֹּל אֲסִירֵי אָרֶץ	34 To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
35 לְהַטֹּות מִשְׁפַּט־גָּבֶר נֶגֶד פְּנֵי עֶלְיֹון	35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
36 לְעַוֵּת אָדָם בְּרִיבֹו אֲדֹנָי לֹא רָאָה׃ ס	36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
37 מִי זֶה אָמַר וַתֶּהִי אֲדֹנָי לֹא צִוָּה	37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
38 מִפִּי עֶלְיֹון לֹא תֵצֵא הָרָעֹות וְהַטֹּוב	38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
39 מַה־יִּתְאֹונֵן אָדָם חָי גֶּבֶר עַל־ [חֶטְאֹו כ] (חֲטָאָיו׃ ק) ס	39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40 נַחְפְּשָׂה דְרָכֵינוּ וְנַחְקֹרָה וְנָשׁוּבָה עַד־יְהוָה	40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
41 נִשָּׂא לְבָבֵנוּ אֶל־כַּפָּיִם אֶל־אֵל בַּשָּׁמָיִם	41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42 נַחְנוּ פָשַׁעְנוּ וּמָרִינוּ אַתָּה לֹא סָלָחְתָּ׃ ס	42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
43 סַכֹּתָה בָאַף וַתִּרְדְּפֵנוּ הָרַגְתָּ לֹא חָמָלְתָּ	43 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
44 סַכֹּותָה בֶעָנָן לָךְ מֵעֲבֹור תְּפִלָּה	44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
45 סְחִי וּמָאֹוס תְּשִׂימֵנוּ בְּקֶרֶב הָעַמִּים׃ ס	45 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
46 פָּצוּ עָלֵינוּ פִּיהֶם כָּל־אֹיְבֵינוּ	46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
47 פַּחַד וָפַחַת הָיָה לָנוּ הַשֵּׁאת וְהַשָּׁבֶר	47 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
48 פַּלְגֵי־מַיִם תֵּרַד עֵינִי עַל־שֶׁבֶר בַּת־עַמִּי׃ ס	48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 עֵינִי נִגְּרָה וְלֹא תִדְמֶה מֵאֵין הֲפֻגֹות	49 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
50 עַד־יַשְׁקִיף וְיֵרֶא יְהוָה מִשָּׁמָיִם	50 Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
51 עֵינִי עֹולְלָה לְנַפְשִׁי מִכֹּל בְּנֹות עִירִי׃ ס	51 Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
52 צֹוד צָדוּנִי כַּצִּפֹּור אֹיְבַי חִנָּם	52 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
53 צָמְתוּ בַבֹּור חַיָּי וַיַּדּוּ־אֶבֶן בִּי	53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
54 צָפוּ־מַיִם עַל־רֹאשִׁי אָמַרְתִּי נִגְזָרְתִּי׃ ס	54 Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
55 קָרָאתִי שִׁמְךָ יְהוָה מִבֹּור תַּחְתִּיֹּות	55 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
56 קֹולִי שָׁמָעְתָּ אַל־תַּעְלֵם אָזְנְךָ לְרַוְחָתִי לְשַׁוְעָתִי	56 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57 קָרַבְתָּ בְּיֹום אֶקְרָאֶךָּ אָמַרְתָּ אַל־תִּירָא׃ ס	57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
58 רַבְתָּ אֲדֹנָי רִיבֵי נַפְשִׁי גָּאַלְתָּ חַיָּי	58 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
59 רָאִיתָה יְהוָה עַוָּתָתִי שָׁפְטָה מִשְׁפָּטִי	59 O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
60 רָאִיתָה כָּל־נִקְמָתָם כָּל־מַחְשְׁבֹתָם לִי׃ ס	60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
61 שָׁמַעְתָּ חֶרְפָּתָם יְהוָה כָּל־מַחְשְׁבֹתָם עָלָי	61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;
62 שִׂפְתֵי קָמַי וְהֶגְיֹונָם עָלַי כָּל־הַיֹּום	62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
63 שִׁבְתָּם וְקִימָתָם הַבִּיטָה אֲנִי מַנְגִּינָתָם׃ ס	63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
