Chapter 69

1


 

   For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshanim. [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; For the waters are come in unto my soul.  

 

 

-

2


 

  I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.  

 

 

-

3


 

  I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.  

 

 

-

4


 

  They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.  

 

 

-

5


 

  O God, thou knowest my foolishness; And my sins are not hid from thee.  

 

 

-

6


 

  Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts: Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face.  

 

 

-

8


 

  I am become a stranger unto my brethren, And an alien unto my mother's children.  

 

 

-

9


 

  For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.  

 

 

-

10


 

  When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach.  

 

 

-

11


 

  When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword unto them.  

 

 

-

12


 

  They that sit in the gate talk of me; And [I am] the song of the drunkards.  

 

 

-

13


 

  But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness, Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, Neither let the deep shallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.  

 

 

-

17


 

  And hide not thy face from thy servant; For I am in distress; answer me speedily.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: Ransom me because of mine enemies.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: Mine adversaries are all before thee.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.  

 

 

-

21


 

  They gave me also gall for my food; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.  

 

 

-

22


 

  Let their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, [let it become] a trap.  

 

 

-

23


 

  Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; And make their loins continually to shake.  

 

 

-

24


 

  Pour out thine indignation upon them, And let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.  

 

 

-

25


 

  Let their habitation be desolate; Let none dwell in their tents.  

 

 

-

26


 

  For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; And they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.  

 

 

-

27


 

  Add iniquity unto their iniquity; And let them not come into thy righteousness.  

 

 

-

28


 

  Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous.  

 

 

-

29


 

  But I am poor and sorrowful: Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.  

 

 

-

30


 

  I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving.  

 

 

-

31


 

  And it will please Jehovah better than an ox, [Or] a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.  

 

 

-

32


 

  The meek have seen it, and are glad: Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.  

 

 

-

33


 

  For Jehovah heareth the needy, And despiseth not his prisoners.  

 

 

-

34


 

  Let heaven and earth praise him, The seas, and everything that moveth therein.  

 

 

-

35


 

  For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.  

 

 

-

36


 

  The seed also of his servants shall inherit it; And they that love his name shall dwell therein.
