Psalms 69:1-13
11SaveH3467 me, O GodH430, For the 2watersH4325 have 3threatenedH935H5704 my lifeH5315.2I have sunkH2883 in deepH4688 4mireH3121, and thereH369 is noH369 footholdH4613; I have comeH935 into deepH4615 watersH4325, and a 56floodH7642 overflowsH7857 me.3I am 7wearyH3021 with my cryingH7121; my throatH1627 is parchedH2787; My 8eyesH5869 failH3615 while I waitH3176 for my GodH430.4Those 9who hateH8130 me withoutH2600 a causeH2600 are moreH7231 thanH4480 the hairsH8185 of my headH7218; Those who would 10destroyH6789 me 11are powerfulH6105, being wrongfullyH8267 my enemiesH340; 12WhatH834 I did not stealH1497, I thenH227 have to restoreH7725.
5O GodH430, it is You who knowsH3045 13my follyH200, And 14my wrongsH819 are not hiddenH3582 from You.6May those who waitH6960 for You not 15be ashamedH954 through me, O LordH136 16GodH3068 of hostsH6635; May those who seekH1245 You not be dishonoredH3637 through me, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478,7BecauseH3588 17for Your sakeH5921 I have borneH5375 reproachH2781; 18DishonorH3639 has coveredH3680 my faceH6440.8I haveH1961 becomeH1961 19estrangedH2114 20from my brothersH251 And an alienH5237 to my mother’sH517 sonsH1121.9For 21zealH7068 for Your houseH1004 has consumedH398 me, And 22the reproachesH2781 of those who reproachH2778 You have fallenH5307 on me.10When I weptH1058 23in my soulH5315 with fastingH6685, It becameH1961 my reproachH2781.11When I madeH5414 24sackclothH8242 my clothingH3830, I becameH1961 25a bywordH4912 to them.12Those who 26sitH3427 in the gateH8179 talkH7878 about me, And I am the 2728songH5058 of the drunkardsH7941H8354.
13But as for me, my prayerH8605 is to You, O LordH3068, 29at an acceptableH7522 timeH6256; O GodH430, in the 30greatnessH7230 of Your lovingkindnessH2617, AnswerH6030 me with 31Your savingH3468 truthH571.
