Psalms  


69 : 1 Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened my life.
69 : 2 I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me.
69 : 3 I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
69 : 4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore.
69 : 5 O God, it is You who knows my folly, And my wrongs are not hidden from You.
69 : 6 May those who wait for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel,
69 : 7 Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; Dishonor has covered my face.
69 : 8 I have become estranged from my brothers And an alien to my mother`s sons.
69 : 9 For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
69 : 10 When I wept in my soul with fasting, It became my reproach.
69 : 11 When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
69 : 12 Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And I am the song of the drunkards.
69 : 13 But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD, at an acceptable time; O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness, Answer me with Your saving truth.
69 : 14 Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink; May I be delivered from my foes and from the deep waters.
69 : 15 May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit shut its mouth on me.
69 : 16 Answer me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me,
69 : 17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress; answer me quickly.
69 : 18 Oh draw near to my soul and redeem it; Ransom me because of my enemies!
69 : 19 You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor; All my adversaries are before You.
69 : 20 Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick And I looked for sympathy, but there was none, And for comforters, but I found none.
69 : 21 They also gave me gall for my food And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
69 : 22 May their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, may it become a trap.
69 : 23 May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see, And make their loins shake continually.
69 : 24 Pour out Your indignation on them, And may Your burning anger overtake them.
69 : 25 May their camp be desolate; May none dwell in their tents.
69 : 26 For they have persecuted him whom You Yourself have smitten, And they tell of the pain of those whom You have wounded.
69 : 27 Add iniquity to their iniquity, And may they not come into Your righteousness.
69 : 28 May they be blotted out of the book of life And may they not be recorded with the righteous.
69 : 29 But I am afflicted and in pain; May Your salvation, O God, set me securely on high.
69 : 30 I will praise the name of God with song And magnify Him with thanksgiving.
69 : 31 And it will please the LORD better than an ox Or a young bull with horns and hoofs.
69 : 32 The humble have seen it and are glad; You who seek God, let your heart revive.
69 : 33 For the LORD hears the needy And does not despise His who are prisoners.
69 : 34 Let heaven and earth praise Him, The seas and everything that moves in them.
69 : 35 For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, That they may dwell there and possess it.
69 : 36 The descendants of His servants will inherit it, And those who love His name will dwell in it.
