Noah Webster's Bible 1833
| 3:1 | I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. |
| 3:2 | He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. |
| 3:3 | Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day. |
| 3:4 | My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. |
| 3:5 | He hath built against me, and compassed me with gall and labor. |
| 3:6 | He hath set me in dark places, as they that are dead of old. |
| 3:7 | He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy. |
| 3:8 | Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer. |
| 3:9 | He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked. |
| 3:10 | He was to me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places. |
| 3:11 | He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate. |
| 3:12 | He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. |
| 3:13 | He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. |
| 3:14 | I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day. |
| 3:15 | He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood. |
| 3:16 | He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes. |
| 3:17 | And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity. |
| 3:18 | And I said, My strength and my hope hath perished from the LORD: |
| 3:19 | Remembering my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. |
| 3:20 | My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. |
| 3:21 | This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. |
| 3:22 | It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. |
| 3:23 | They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. |
| 3:24 | The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. |
| 3:25 | The LORD is good to them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. |
| 3:26 | It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. |
| 3:27 | It is good for a man that he should bear the yoke in his youth. |
| 3:28 | He sitteth alone, and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him. |
| 3:29 | He putteth his mouth in the dust; if there may be hope. |
| 3:30 | He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach. |
| 3:31 | For the Lord will not cast off for ever: |
| 3:32 | But though he causeth grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. |
| 3:33 | For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. |
| 3:34 | To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth, |
| 3:35 | To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High, |
| 3:36 | To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not. |
| 3:37 | Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? |
| 3:38 | Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? |
| 3:39 | Why doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? |
| 3:40 | Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. |
| 3:41 | Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens. |
| 3:42 | We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned. |
| 3:43 | Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied. |
| 3:44 | Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through. |
| 3:45 | Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people. |
| 3:46 | All our enemies have opened their mouths against us. |
| 3:47 | Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction. |
| 3:48 | My eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people. |
| 3:49 | My eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission, |
| 3:50 | Till the LORD shall look down, and behold from heaven. |
| 3:51 | My eye affecteth my heart because of all the daughters of my city. |
| 3:52 | My enemies chased me fiercely, like a bird without cause. |
| 3:53 | They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me. |
| 3:54 | Waters flowed over my head; then I said, I am cut off. |
| 3:55 | I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon. |
| 3:56 | Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thy ear at my breathing, at my cry. |
| 3:57 | Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not. |
| 3:58 | O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. |
| 3:59 | O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause. |
| 3:60 | Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me. |
| 3:61 | Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me; |
| 3:62 | The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day. |
| 3:63 | Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their music. |
| 3:64 | Render to them a recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands. |
| 3:65 | Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse to them. |
| 3:66 | Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD. |
Noah Webster's Bible 1833
While Noah Webster, just a few years after producing his famous Dictionary of the English Language, produced his own modern translation of the English Bible in 1833; the public remained too loyal to the King James Version for Webster’s version to have much impact.
