| 1 | Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David. |
| 2 | O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins. |
| 3 | O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me. |
| 4 | But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel. |
| 5 | In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them. |
| 6 | They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. |
| 7 | But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people. |
| 8 | All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head. |
| 9 | He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him. |
| 10 | For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother. |
| 11 | I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother's womb thou art my God, |
| 12 | Depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me. |
| 13 | Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me. |
| 14 | They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring. |
| 15 | I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels. |
| 16 | My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death. |
| 17 | For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet. |
| 18 | They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me. |
| 19 | They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots. |
| 20 | But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence. |
| 21 | Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog. |
| 22 | Save me from the lion's mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns. |
| 23 | I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee. |
| 24 | Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him. |
| 25 | Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me. |
| 26 | With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him. |
| 27 | The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever. |
| 28 | All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight. |
| 29 | For the kingdom is the Lord's; and he shall have dominion over the nations. |
| 30 | All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him. |
| 31 | And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve him. |
| 32 | There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made. |
