Psalms 69

Psa. 69:1	Save me, O God; for the waters / Threaten my life.
Psa. 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	I am weary of my crying; / My throat is parched; / My eyes fail / While I wait for my God.
Psa. 69:4	More numerous than the hairs of my head / Are those who hate 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	O God, You know my foolishness, / And my sins of guilt are not hidden from You.
Psa. 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	Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; / Humiliation has covered my face.
Psa. 69:8	I have become a stranger to my brothers, / And a foreigner to my mother's children.
Psa. 69:9	For the zeal of Your house has devoured me, / And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
Psa. 69:10	When I wept, [when] my soul was in fasting, / [That] became a reproach to me.
Psa. 69:11	When I made sackcloth my clothing, / I became a proverb to them.
Psa. 69:12	Those who sit in the gate talk about me, / And [I am] the [mocking] song of those who drink liquor.
Psa. 69:13	But as for me, my prayer is to You, / O Jehovah, in an acceptable time; / O God, in the abundance of Your lovingkindness answer me, / In the faithfulness of Your salvation.
Psa. 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	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	Answer me, O Jehovah; for Your lovingkindness is good; / According to the abundance of Your compassions turn to me.
Psa. 69:17	And do not hide Your face from Your servant, / For I am in distress; hurry [and] answer me.
Psa. 69:18	Draw near to my soul; redeem it; / Ransom me because of my enemies.
Psa. 69:19	You know my reproach / And my shame and my humiliation; / All my adversaries are before You.
Psa. 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 none.
Psa. 69:21	But they gave me gall for my food, / And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Psa. 69:22	May their table become a snare before them / And a trap [when they are] at peace.
Psa. 69:23	May their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see; / And make their loins shake continually.
Psa. 69:24	Pour out Your indignation upon them; / And may the burning fierceness of Your anger overtake them.
Psa. 69:25	May their camp be desolate; / May there be no one to dwell in their tents.
Psa. 69:26	For they persecute him whom You have stricken, / And they recount the pain of those whom You have wounded.
Psa. 69:27	Add iniquity to their iniquity, / And do not let them come into Your righteousness.
Psa. 69:28	May they be blotted out of the book of life, / And may they not be written with the righteous.
Psa. 69:29	But I am poor and pained; / May Your salvation, O God, set me on high.
Psa. 69:30	I will praise the name of God with a song / And will magnify Him with thanksgiving;
Psa. 69:31	And it will be better to Jehovah than an ox / [Or] a bull with horns and hooves.
Psa. 69:32	The meek have seen [it;] they rejoice. / You who seek God, let your heart revive.
Psa. 69:33	For Jehovah listens to the needy, / And He does not despise His prisoners.
Psa. 69:34	Let the heavens and the earth praise Him, / The seas and everything that moves in them.
Psa. 69:35	For God will save Zion / And build the cities of Judah; / And they will abide there and possess it.
Psa. 69:36	And the seed of His servants will inherit it, / And those who love His name will dwell in it.
