Psa. 69
:1
69:1
1Save me, O God; for the waters
Threaten my life.
Psa. 69
:2
69:2
I sink in deep mire,
And there is no place to stand;
I have come to the depths of water,
And the flood flows over me.
Psa. 69
:3
69:3
I am weary of my crying;
My throat is parched;
My eyes fail
While I wait for my God.
Psa. 69
:4
69:4
More numerous than the hairs of my head
Are those who
ahate me without cause;
Mighty are those who would destroy me,
Those who are wrongly my enemies.
What I did not steal,
I must then restore.
Psa. 69
:5
69:5
O God, You know my foolishness,
And my sins of guilt are not hidden from You.
Psa. 69
:6
69:6
Do not let those who wait on You be put to shame because of me,
O Lord Jehovah of hosts;
Do not let those who seek You be humiliated because of me,
O God of Israel.
Psa. 69
:7
69:7
Because for Your sake I have borne
areproach;
Humiliation has covered my face.
Psa. 69
:8
69:8
I have become a stranger to my
abrothers,
And a foreigner to my mother’s children.
Psa. 69
:9
69:9
For the
azeal of Your house has devoured me,
And the
breproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
Psa. 69
:10
69:10
When I
awept,
when my soul was in fasting,
That became a reproach to me.
Psa. 69
:11
69:11
When I made sackcloth my clothing,
I became a
aproverb to them.
Psa. 69
:12
69:12
Those who sit in the gate
atalk about me,
And
I am the
mocking song of those who drink liquor.
Psa. 69
:13
69:13
But as for me, my prayer is to You,
O Jehovah, in an
aacceptable time;
O God, in the abundance of Your lovingkindness answer me,
In the faithfulness of Your salvation.
Psa. 69
:14
69:14
Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink;
May I be delivered from those who hate me,
And out of the depths of water.
Psa. 69
:15
69:15
Do not let the flood of water flow over me,
Nor let the deep swallow me,
Nor let the pit close its mouth over me.
Psa. 69
:16
69:16
Answer me, O Jehovah; for Your lovingkindness is good;
According to the abundance of Your compassions turn to me.
Psa. 69
:17
69:17
And do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am in distress; hurry
and answer me.
Psa. 69
:18
69:18
Draw near to my soul; redeem it;
Ransom me because of my enemies.
Psa. 69
:19
69:19
You know my
areproach And my shame and my humiliation;
All my adversaries are before You.
Psa. 69
:20
69:20
Reproach has broken my heart,
And I am sick;
I looked for pity, but there was none;
And for comforters, but I found
anone.
Psa. 69
:21
69:21
But they gave me
agall for my food,
And for my
bthirst they gave me
cvinegar to drink.
Psa. 69
:22
69:22
1aMay their table become a snare before them
And a trap
when they are at peace.
Psa. 69
:23
69:23
May their eyes be darkened so that they cannot
asee;
And make their loins shake continually.
Psa. 69
:24
69:24
Pour out Your indignation upon them;
And may the burning fierceness of Your anger overtake them.
Psa. 69
:25
69:25
aMay their camp be desolate;
May there be no one to dwell in their tents.
Psa. 69
:26
69:26
For they persecute him whom You have
astricken,
And they recount the pain of those whom You have wounded.
Psa. 69
:27
69:27
Add iniquity to their iniquity,
And do not let them come into Your righteousness.
Psa. 69
:28
69:28
May they be blotted out of the
abook of life,
And may they not be written with the righteous.
Psa. 69
:29
69:29
But I am poor and pained;
May Your salvation, O God, set me on high.
Psa. 69
:30
69:30
I will praise the name of God with a song
And will
amagnify Him with thanksgiving;
Psa. 69
:31
69:31
And it will be better to Jehovah than an ox
Or a bull with horns and hooves.
Psa. 69
:32
69:32
The meek have seen
it; they rejoice.
You who seek God, let your heart revive.
Psa. 69
:33
69:33
For Jehovah listens to the needy,
And He does not despise His prisoners.
Psa. 69
:34
69:34
aLet the heavens and the earth praise Him,
The seas and everything that moves in them.
Psa. 69
:35
69:35
For God will save
aZion And build the cities of Judah;
And they will abide there and possess it.
Psa. 69
:36
69:36
And the seed of His servants will inherit it,
And those who love His name will dwell in it.
