Psalms 69:1-13
1Save me, O God,for the waters are up to my neck.2I have sunk into the miry depths,where there is no footing;I have drifted into deep waters,where the flood engulfs me.3I am weary from my crying;my throat is parched.My eyes fail,looking for my God.4Those who hate me without causeoutnumber the hairs of my head;many are those who would destroy me—my enemies for no reason.1Though I did not steal,I must repay.
5You know my folly, O God,and my guilt is not hidden from You.6May those who hope in 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.7For I have endured scorn for Your sake,and shame has covered my face.8I have become a stranger to my brothersand a foreigner to my mother’s sons,9because zeal for Your house has consumed me,2and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.310I wept and fasted,but it brought me reproach.11I made sackcloth my clothing,and I was sport to them.12Those who sit at the gate mock me,and I am the song of drunkards.
13But my prayer to You, O LORD,is for a time of favor.In Your abundant loving devotion, O God,answer me with Your sure salvation.
