LORD, remember for David all his affliction,
Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,
In my distress I cried to LORD, and he answered me.
Remember, O LORD, what has come upon us. Behold, and see our reproach.
Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I exercise myself in grand matters, or in things too wonderful for me.
Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O LORD.
Blessed [are] all who fear LORD, who walk in his ways.
Unless LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless LORD guards the city, the watchman wake but in vain.
When LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.
Those who trust in LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
If it had not been LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,
To thee do I lift up my eyes, O thou who sit in the heavens.
I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of LORD.
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where shall my help come?
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
Consider my affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
