3:1	I am the man, that hath seene affliction in the rod of his indignation.
3:2	He hath ledde mee, and brought me into darkenes, but not to light.
3:3	Surely he is turned against me: he turneth his hand against me all the day.
3:4	My flesh and my skinne hath he caused to waxe olde, and he hath broken my bones.
3:5	He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall, and labour.
3:6	He hath set me in darke places, as they that be dead for euer.
3:7	He hath hedged about mee, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chaines heauy.
3:8	Also when I cry and showte, hee shutteth out my prayer.
3:9	He hath stopped vp my wayes with hewen stone, and turned away my paths.
3:10	He was vnto me as a beare lying in waite, and as a Lion in secret places.
3:11	He hath stopped my wayes, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
3:12	He hath bent his bow and made me a marke for the arrow.
3:13	Hee caused the arrowes of his quiuer to enter into my reines.
3:14	I was a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.
3:15	He hath filled me with bitternes, and made me drunken with wormewood.
3:16	He hath also broken my teeth with stones, and hath couered me with ashes.
3:17	Thus my soule was farre off from peace: I forgate prosperitie,
3:18	And I saide, My strength and mine hope is perished from the Lord,
3:19	Remembring mine affliction, and my mourning, the wormewood and the gall.
3:20	My soule hath them in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
3:21	I consider this in mine heart: therefore haue I hope.
3:22	It is the Lordes mercies that wee are not consumed, because his compassions faile not.
3:23	They are renued euery morning: great is thy faithfulnesse.
3:24	The Lord is my portion, sayth my soule: therefore wil I hope in him.
3:25	The Lord is good vnto them, that trust in him, and to the soule that seeketh him.
3:26	It is good both to trust, and to waite for the saluation of the Lord.
3:27	It is good for a man that he beare the yoke in his youth.
3:28	He sitteth alone, and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it vpon him.
3:29	He putteth his mouth in the dust, if there may be hope.
3:30	Hee giueth his cheeke to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproches.
3:31	For the Lord will not forsake for euer.
3:32	But though he sende affliction, yet will he haue compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
3:33	For he doeth not punish willingly, nor afflict the children of men,
3:34	In stamping vnder his feete all the prisoners of the earth,
3:35	In ouerthrowing the right of a man before the face of the most high,
3:36	In subuerting a man in his cause: the Lord seeth it not.
3:37	Who is he then that sayth, and it commeth to passe, and the Lord commandeth it not?
3:38	Out of the mouth of the most high proceedeth not euill and good?
3:39	Wherefore then is the liuing man sorowfull? man suffreth for his sinne.
3:40	Let vs search and try our wayes, and turne againe to the Lord.
3:41	Let vs lift vp our hearts with our handes vnto God in the heauens.
3:42	We haue sinned, and haue rebelled, therefore thou hast not spared.
3:43	Thou hast couered vs with wrath, and persecuted vs: thou hast slaine and not spared.
3:44	Thou hast couered thy selfe with a cloude, that our prayer should not passe through.
3:45	Thou hast made vs as the ofscouring and refuse in the middes of the people.
3:46	All our enemies haue opened their mouth against vs.
3:47	Feare, and a snare is come vpon vs with desolation and destruction.
3:48	Mine eye casteth out riuers of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
3:49	Mine eye droppeth without stay and ceaseth not,
3:50	Till the Lord looke downe, and beholde from heauen.
3:51	Mine eye breaketh mine heart because of all the daughters of my citie.
3:52	Mine enemies chased me sore like a birde, without cause.
3:53	They haue shut vp my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone vpon me.
3:54	Waters flowed ouer mine head, then thought I, I am destroyed.
3:55	I called vpon thy Name, O Lord, out of the lowe dungeon.
3:56	Thou hast heard my voyce: stoppe not thine eare from my sigh and from my cry.
3:57	Thou drewest neere in the day that I called vpon thee: thou saydest, Feare not.
3:58	O Lord, thou hast maintained the cause of my soule, and hast redeemed my life.
3:59	O Lord, thou hast seene my wrong, iudge thou my cause.
3:60	Thou hast seene all their vengeance, and all their deuises against me.
3:61	Thou hast heard their reproch, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me:
3:62	The lippes also of those that rose against me, and their whispering against me continually.
3:63	Behold, their sitting downe and their rising vp, how I am their song.
3:64	Giue them a recompence, O Lord, according to the worke of their handes.
3:65	Giue them sorow of heart, euen thy curse to them.
3:66	Persecute with wrath and destroy them from vnder the heauen, O Lord.
