¹⁴I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.

¹⁵My strength is dried up like a piece of pottery, And my tongue clings to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death.

¹⁷I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me;

¹⁸They divide my garments among them, And they cast lots for my clothing.

¹⁹But You, LORD, do not be far away; You who are my help, hurry to my assistance.

⁶Certainly goodness and faithfulness will follow me all the days of my life, And my dwelling will be in the house of the LORD forever.

¹The earth is the LORD’S, and all it contains, The world, and those who live in it.

²For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the rivers.

³Who may ascend onto the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place?

⁴One who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to deceit And has not sworn deceitfully.

⁵He will receive a blessing from the LORD And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

⁶This is the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face—even Jacob. Selah
