Psalms Chapter 69 (NASB)
undefined
For the choir director; according to Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened my life.
undefined
I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me.
undefined
I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
undefined
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.
undefined
O God, it is You who knows my folly, And my wrongs are not hidden from You.
undefined
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,
undefined
Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; Dishonor has covered my face.
undefined
I have become estranged from my brothers And an alien to my mother's sons.
undefined
For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
undefined
When I wept in my soul with fasting, It became my reproach.
undefined
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
undefined
Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And I [am] the song of the drunkards.
undefined
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.
undefined
Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink; May I be delivered from my foes and from the deep waters.
undefined
May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit shut its mouth on me.
undefined
Answer me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me,
undefined
And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress; answer me quickly.
undefined
Oh draw near to my soul [and] redeem it; Ransom me because of my enemies!
undefined
You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor; All my adversaries are before You.
undefined
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.
undefined
They also gave me gall for my food And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
undefined
May their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, [may it become] a trap.
undefined
May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see, And make their loins shake continually.
undefined
Pour out Your indignation on them, And may Your burning anger overtake them.
undefined
May their camp be desolate; May none dwell in their tents.
undefined
For they have persecuted him whom You Yourself have smitten, And they tell of the pain of those whom You have wounded.
undefined
Add iniquity to their iniquity, And may they not come into Your righteousness.
undefined
May they be blotted out of the book of life And may they not be recorded with the righteous.
undefined
But I am afflicted and in pain; May Your salvation, O God, set me [securely] on high.
undefined
I will praise the name of God with song And magnify Him with thanksgiving.
undefined
And it will please the LORD better than an ox [Or] a young bull with horns and hoofs.
undefined
The humble have seen [it and] are glad; You who seek God, let your heart revive.
undefined
For the LORD hears the needy And does not despise His [who are] prisoners.
undefined
Let heaven and earth praise Him, The seas and everything that moves in them.
undefined
For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, That they may dwell there and possess it.
undefined
The descendants of His servants will inherit it, And those who love His name will dwell in it.
