But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.

Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.

And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.

I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.

My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.

I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.

I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.

I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.

I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel.

I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.

Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.

Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
