Psalms Chapter 69 (KJV)
undefined
Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
undefined
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
undefined
I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
undefined
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
undefined
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
undefined
Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
undefined
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
undefined
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
undefined
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
undefined
When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
undefined
I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
undefined
They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
undefined
But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
undefined
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.
undefined
Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
undefined
Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
undefined
And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
undefined
Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
undefined
Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
undefined
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.
undefined
They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
undefined
Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
undefined
Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
undefined
Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
undefined
Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
undefined
For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
undefined
Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
undefined
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
undefined
But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
undefined
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
undefined
This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
undefined
The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
undefined
For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
undefined
Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
undefined
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
undefined
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
