When my spiritwas overwhelmedwithinme, You knewmy path.In the waywhereI walkThey have hiddena trapfor me.
"But He knowsthe wayI take;[When] He has triedme, I shall comeforthas gold.
For the LORDknowsthe wayof the righteous,But the wayof the wickedwill perish.
Hearmy prayer,O LORD!And let my cryfor helpcometo You.
My hearthas been smittenlike grassand has witheredaway, Indeed,I forgetto eatmy bread.
The proudhave hiddena trapfor me, and cords;They have spreada netby the wayside;They have setsnaresfor me. Selah.
Keepme from the jawsof the trapwhich they have setfor me, And from the snaresof those who doiniquity.
Therefore my spiritis overwhelmedwithinme; My heartis appalledwithinme.
You have triedmy heart;You have visited[me] by night;You have testedme and You findnothing;I have purposedthat my mouthwill not transgress.
I am pouredout like water,And allmy bonesare out of joint;My heartis like wax;It is meltedwithinme.
You will pullme out of the netwhichthey have secretlylaidfor me, For You are my strength.
They attack,they lurk,They watchmy steps,As they have waited[to take] my life.
From the endof the earthI callto You when my heartis faint;Leadme to the rockthat is higherthanI.
Menof lowdegreeare onlyvanityand menof rankare a lie;In the balancesthey goup; They are togetherlighter thanbreath.
[When] I rememberGod,then I am disturbed;[When] I sigh,then my spiritgrowsfaint.Selah.
May an outcrybe heardfrom their houses,WhenYou suddenlybringraidersupon them; For they have duga pitto captureme And hiddensnaresfor my feet.
"Arise,cryaloudin the nightAt the beginningof the night watches;Pourout your heartlike waterBeforethe presenceof the Lord;Liftup your handsto Him For the lifeof your littleonesWho are faintbecause of hungerAt the headof everystreet."
Thenthe Phariseeswentand plotted togetherhowthey might trapHim in what He said.
