³ In the morning,^(E) Lord, you hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before you
    and wait expectantly.^(F)
4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
    with you, evil people^(G) are not welcome.
⁵ The arrogant^(H) cannot stand^(I)
    in your presence.
You hate^(J) all who do wrong;
⁶     you destroy those who tell lies.^(K)
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
    you, Lord, detest.
⁷ But I, by your great love,
    can come into your house;
in reverence^(L) I bow down^(M)
    toward your holy temple.^(N)

⁸ Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness^(O)
    because of my enemies—
    make your way straight^(P) before me.
⁹ Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;^(Q)
    with their tongues they tell lies.^(R)
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
    Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,^(S)
    for they have rebelled^(T) against you.
¹¹ But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
    let them ever sing for joy.^(U)
Spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name^(V) may rejoice in you.^(W)

¹² Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;^(X)
    you surround them^(Y) with your favor as with a shield.^(Z)

⁵ My wounds^(G) fester and are loathsome^(H)
    because of my sinful folly.^(I)
6 I am bowed down^(J) and brought very low;
    all day long I go about mourning.^(K)
7 My back is filled with searing pain;^(L)
    there is no health^(M) in my body.
⁸ I am feeble and utterly crushed;^(N)
    I groan^(O) in anguish of heart.^(P)

⁹ All my longings^(Q) lie open before you, Lord;
    my sighing^(R) is not hidden from you.
¹⁰ My heart pounds,^(S) my strength fails^(T) me;
    even the light has gone from my eyes.^(U)
11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;^(V)
    my neighbors stay far away.
¹² Those who want to kill me set their traps,^(W)
    those who would harm me talk of my ruin;^(X)
    all day long they scheme and lie.^(Y)

¹³ I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,^(Z)
    like the mute, who cannot speak;
¹⁴ I have become like one who does not hear,
    whose mouth can offer no reply.
¹⁵ Lord, I wait^(AA) for you;
    you will answer,^(AB) Lord my God.
¹⁶ For I said, “Do not let them gloat^(AC)
    or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”^(AD)

¹⁷ For I am about to fall,^(AE)
    and my pain^(AF) is ever with me.
¹⁸ I confess my iniquity;^(AG)
    I am troubled by my sin.
¹⁹ Many have become my enemies^(AH) without cause^[b];
    those who hate me^(AI) without reason^(AJ) are numerous.
²⁰ Those who repay my good with evil^(AK)
    lodge accusations^(AL) against me,
    though I seek only to do what is good.

²¹ Lord, do not forsake me;^(AM)
    do not be far^(AN) from me, my God.
²² Come quickly^(AO) to help me,^(AP)
    my Lord and my Savior.^(AQ)

⁴ I said, “Have mercy^(J) on me, Lord;
    heal^(K) me, for I have sinned^(L) against you.”
⁵ My enemies say of me in malice,
    “When will he die and his name perish?^(M)”
⁶ When one of them comes to see me,
    he speaks falsely,^(N) while his heart gathers slander;^(O)
    then he goes out and spreads^(P) it around.

⁷ All my enemies whisper together^(Q) against me;
    they imagine the worst for me, saying,
⁸ “A vile disease has afflicted him;
    he will never get up^(R) from the place where he lies.”
⁹ Even my close friend,^(S)
    someone I trusted,
one who shared my bread,
    has turned^[b] against me.^(T)

¹⁰ But may you have mercy^(U) on me, Lord;
    raise me up,^(V) that I may repay^(W) them.
¹¹ I know that you are pleased with me,^(X)
    for my enemy does not triumph over me.^(Y)
12 Because of my integrity^(Z) you uphold me^(AA)
    and set me in your presence forever.^(AB)

¹³ Praise^(AC) be to the Lord, the God of Israel,^(AD)
    from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.^(AE)

⁵ Why, my soul, are you downcast?^(AS)
    Why so disturbed^(AT) within me?
Put your hope in God,^(AU)
    for I will yet praise^(AV) him,
    my Savior^(AW) and my God.^(AX)

⁶ My soul is downcast within me;
    therefore I will remember^(AY) you
from the land of the Jordan,^(AZ)
    the heights of Hermon^(BA)—from Mount Mizar.
⁷ Deep calls to deep^(BB)
    in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
    have swept over me.^(BC)

⁸ By day the Lord directs his love,^(BD)
    at night^(BE) his song^(BF) is with me—
    a prayer to the God of my life.^(BG)

⁹ I say to God my Rock,^(BH)
    “Why have you forgotten^(BI) me?
Why must I go about mourning,^(BJ)
    oppressed^(BK) by the enemy?”^(BL)
10 My bones suffer mortal agony^(BM)
    as my foes taunt^(BN) me,
saying to me all day long,
    “Where is your God?”^(BO)

¹¹ Why, my soul, are you downcast?
    Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
    for I will yet praise him,
    my Savior and my God.^(BP)
