And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.

The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.

O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.

Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
