Psalms 2
Ready to read
1
Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; Confusion and dishonor have covered my face.
2
I have become estranged from my brothers And an alien to my mother's sons.
3
For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the [mocking] insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.
4
When I wept and humbled myself with fasting, It became my reproach.
5
When I made sackcloth my clothing [as one in mourning], I became a byword [a mere object of scorn] to them.
6
They who sit in the [city's] gate talk about me and mock me, And I am the song of the drunkards.
7
But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD, at an acceptable and opportune time; O God, in the greatness of Your favor and in the abundance of Your lovingkindness, Answer me with truth [that is, the faithfulness of Your salvation].
8
Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; Let me be rescued from those who hate me and from the deep waters.
9
Do not let the floodwater overwhelm me, Nor the deep waters swallow me up, Nor the pit [of Sheol] shut its mouth over me.
10
Answer me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is sweet and good and comforting; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me.
11
Do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress; answer me quickly.
12
Draw near to my soul and redeem it; Ransom me because of my enemies [so that they do not delight in my distress].
