I AM the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021182">2</a>. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021183">3</a>. Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021184">4</a>. My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021185">5</a>. He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021186">6</a>. He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021187">7</a>. He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021188">8</a>. Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021189">9</a>. He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021190">10</a>. He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021191">11</a>. He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021192">12</a>. He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021193">13</a>. He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021194">14</a>. I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021195">15</a>. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021196">16</a>. He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021197">17</a>. And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021198">18</a>. And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021199">19</a>. Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021200">20</a>. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021201">21</a>. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021202">22</a>. It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021203">23</a>. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021204">24</a>. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021205">25</a>. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021206">26</a>. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021207">27</a>. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021208">28</a>. He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021209">29</a>. He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021210">30</a>. He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021211">31</a>. For the Lord will not cast off for ever:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021212">32</a>. But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021213">33</a>. For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021214">34</a>. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021215">35</a>. To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021216">36</a>. To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021217">37</a>. Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021218">38</a>. Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021219">39</a>. Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021220">40</a>. Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021221">41</a>. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021222">42</a>. We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021223">43</a>. Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021224">44</a>. Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021225">45</a>. Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021226">46</a>. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021227">47</a>. Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021228">48</a>. Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021229">49</a>. Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021230">50</a>. Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021231">51</a>. Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021232">52</a>. Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021233">53</a>. They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021234">54</a>. Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021235">55</a>. I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021236">56</a>. Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021237">57</a>. Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021238">58</a>. O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021239">59</a>. O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021240">60</a>. Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021241">61</a>. Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021242">62</a>. The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021243">63</a>. Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021244">64</a>. Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021245">65</a>. Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021246">66</a>. Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.</li>
