To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the cistern of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with ropes. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sank in the mire.

Ebed-melech went forth out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,

Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern, before he dies.

And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old clothes and rags under your armpits under the ropes. And Jeremiah did so.

I called upon your name, O LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.

Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

Consider my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

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

Let not the floodwater overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterfalls: all your waves and your billows are gone over me.

Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul:

Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither knew they what to answer him.
