7 ♥ 📝 O Jehovah,^H3068 thou hast persuaded^H6601 me, and I was persuaded;^H6601 thou art stronger^H2388 than I, and hast prevailed:^H3201 I am become a laughing-stock^H7814 all the day,^H3117 every one mocketh^H3932 me.

8 ♥ 📝 For as often^H1767 as I speak,^H1696 I cry^H7121 out;^H2199 I cry,^H7121 Violence^H2555 and destruction! because the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 is made a reproach^H2781 unto me, and a derision,^H7047 all the day.^H3117

9 ♥ 📝 And if I say,^H559 I will not make mention^H2142 of him, nor speak^H1696 any more in his name,^H8034 then there is in my heart^H3820 as it were a burning^H1197 fire^H784 shut up^H6113 in my bones,^H6106 and I am weary^H3811 with forbearing,^H3557 and I cannot^H3201 [contain].

11 ♥ 📝 But Jehovah^H3068 is with me as a mighty^H1368 one^H6184 [and] a terrible: therefore my persecutors^H7291 shall stumble,^H3782 and they shall not prevail;^H3201 they shall be utterly^H3966 put to shame,^H954 because they have not dealt wisely,^H7919 even with an everlasting^H5769 dishonor^H3639 which shall never be forgotten.^H7911

12 ♥ 📝 But, O Jehovah^H3068 of hosts,^H6635 that triest^H974 the righteous,^H6662 that seest^H7200 the heart^H3629 and the mind,^H3820 let me see^H7200 thy vengeance^H5360 on them; for unto thee have I revealed^H1540 my cause.^H7379

13 ♥ 📝 Sing^H7891 unto Jehovah,^H3068 praise^H1984 ye Jehovah;^H3068 for he hath delivered^H5337 the soul^H5315 of the needy^H34 from the hand^H3027 of evil-doers.^H7489

16 ♥ 📝 And let that man^H376 be as the cities^H5892 which Jehovah^H3068 overthrew,^H2015 and repented^H5162 not: and let him hear^H8085 a cry^H2201 in the morning,^H1242 and shouting^H8643 at noontime;^H6256

17 ♥ 📝 because he slew^H4191 me not from the womb;^H7358 and so my mother^H517 would have been my grave,^H6913 and her womb^H7358 always^H5769 great.^H2030

18 ♥ 📝 Wherefore came I forth^H3318 out of the womb^H7358 to see^H7200 labor^H5999 and sorrow,^H3015 that my days^H3117 should be consumed^H3615 with shame?^H1322
