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