Psa 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.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:2 |
|
I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:3 |
|
I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:4 |
|
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.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:5 |
|
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:6 |
|
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.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:7 |
|
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:8 |
|
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:9 |
|
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:10 |
|
When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:11 |
|
I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:12 |
|
They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was] the song of the drunkards.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:13 |
|
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.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:14 |
|
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.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:15 |
|
Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:16 |
|
Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:17 |
|
And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:18 |
|
Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:19 |
|
Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:20 |
|
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.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:21 |
|
They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:22 |
|
Let their table become a snare before them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:23 |
|
Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:24 |
|
Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:25 |
|
Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell in their tents.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:26 |
|
For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:27 |
|
Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:28 |
|
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:29 |
|
But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:30 |
|
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:31 |
|
[This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:32 |
|
The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:33 |
|
For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:34 |
|
Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:35 |
|
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
|
  
  
|
Psa 69:36 |
|
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
