Chapter 69

1


 

  {To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. [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 the depths of waters, and the flood overfloweth me.  

 

 

--

3


 

  I am weary with my crying, my throat is parched; 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 destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Thou, O God, knowest my foolishness, and my trespasses are not hidden from thee.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Let not them that wait on thee, Lord, Jehovah of hosts, be ashamed through me; let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.  

 

 

--

7


 

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

 

 

--

8


 

  I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's sons;  

 

 

--

9


 

  For the zeal of thy house hath devoured me, and the reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.  

 

 

--

10


 

  And I wept, my soul was fasting: that also was to my reproach; --  

 

 

--

11


 

  And I made sackcloth my garment: then I became a proverb to 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, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:  

 

 

--

14


 

  Deliver me out of the mire, let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the depths of waters.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy loving-kindness is good: according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, turn toward me;  

 

 

--

17


 

  And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: answer me speedily.  

 

 

--

18


 

  Draw nigh unto my soul, be its redeemer; ransom me because of mine enemies.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am overwhelmed: and I looked for sympathy, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Yea, they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.  

 

 

--

22


 

  Let their table become a snare before them, and their very welfare a trap;  

 

 

--

23


 

  Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not, and make their loins continually to shake.  

 

 

--

24


 

  Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger take hold of them.  

 

 

--

25


 

  Let their habitation be desolate; let there be no dweller in their tents.  

 

 

--

26


 

  For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten, and they talk for 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 afflicted and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me secure on high.  

 

 

--

30


 

  I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving;  

 

 

--

31


 

  And it shall please Jehovah more than an ox, -- a bullock with horns and cloven hoofs.  

 

 

--

32


 

  The meek shall see it, they shall be glad; ye that seek God, your heart shall live.  

 

 

--

33


 

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

 

 

--

34


 

  Let heavens and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moveth therein.  

 

 

--

35


 

  For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah; and they shall dwell there, and possess it:  

 

 

--

36


 

  And the seed of his servants shall inherit it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
