003:024 Yahweh is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
003:025 Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul
that seeks him.
003:026 It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the
salvation of Yahweh.
003:027 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
003:028 Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid
it on him.
003:029 Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.
003:030 Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him; let him be filled
full with reproach.
003:031 For the Lord will not cast off forever.
003:032 For though he cause grief, yet he will have compassion according
to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
003:033 For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
003:034 To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
003:035 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
003:036 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn't approve.
003:037 Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord
doesn't command it?
003:038 Doesn't evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
003:039 Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment
of his sins?
003:040 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yahweh.
003:041 Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
003:042 We have transgressed and have rebelled; you have not pardoned.
003:043 You have covered with anger and pursued us; you have killed,
you have not pitied.
003:044 You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer
can pass through.
003:045 You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the midst
of the peoples.
003:046 All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
003:047 Fear and the pit are come on us, devastation and destruction.
003:048 My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction
of the daughter of my people.
003:049 My eye pours down, and doesn't cease, without any intermission,
003:050 Until Yahweh look down, and see from heaven.
003:051 My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
003:052 They have chased me sore like a bird, those who are my
enemies without cause.
003:053 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast
a stone on me.
003:054 Waters flowed over my head; I said, I am cut off.
003:055 I called on your name, Yahweh, out of the lowest dungeon.
003:056 You heard my voice; don't hide your ear at my breathing,
at my cry.
003:057 You drew near in the day that I called on you; you said,
Don't be afraid.
003:058 Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul; you have
redeemed my life.
003:059 Yahweh, you have seen my wrong; judge you my cause.
003:060 You have seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.
003:061 You have heard their reproach, Yahweh, and all their
devices against me,
