Psalms 69:1-33

11Save me, God, For the 2waters have 3threatened my life.2I have sunk in deep 4mud, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a 56flood overflows me.3I am 7weary with my crying; my throat is parched; My 8eyes fail while I wait for my God.4Those 9who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would 10destroy me 11are powerful, those who oppose me with lies; 12What I did not steal, I then have to restore.

5God, You know 13my foolishness, And 14my guilt is not hidden from You.6May those who wait for You not 15be ashamed because of me, Lord 16God of armies; May those who seek You not be dishonored because of me, God of Israel,7Because 17for Your sake I have endured disgrace; 18Dishonor has covered my face.8I have become 19estranged 20from my brothers, And a stranger to my mother’s sons.9For 21zeal for Your house has consumed me, And 22the taunts of those who taunt You have fallen on me.10When I wept 23in my soul with fasting, It became my 24disgrace.11When I made 25sackcloth my clothing, I became 26a proverb to them.12Those who 27sit in the gate talk about me, And 28songs of mockery by those habitually drunk are about me.

13But as for me, my prayer is to You, Lord, 29at an acceptable time; God, in the 30greatness of Your mercy, Answer me with 31Your saving truth.14Rescue me from the 32mud and do not let me sink; May I be 33rescued from those who hate me, and from the 34depths of water.15May the 3536flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the 37pit close its mouth on me.

16Answer me, Lord, for 38Your mercy is good; 39According to the greatness of Your compassion, 40turn to me,17And 41do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am 42in distress; answer me quickly.18Come near to my soul and 43redeem it; 44Ransom me because of my enemies!19You know my 45disgrace, my shame, and my dishonor; All my enemies are 46known to You.

20Disgrace has 47broken my heart, and I am so sick. And 48I waited for sympathy, but there was none; And for 49comforters, but I found none.21They also gave me 5051a bitter herb in my food, And for my thirst they 52gave me vinegar to drink.

22May 53their table before them become a snare; And 5455when they are at peace, may it become a trap.23May their 56eyes grow dim so that they cannot see, And make their 57hips shake continually.2458Pour out Your indignation on them, And may Your burning anger overtake them.25May their 5960camp be desolated; May there be none living in their tents.26For they have 61persecuted him whom 62You Yourself struck, And they tell of the pain of those whom 63You have 64wounded.27Add 65guilt to their guilt, And 66may they not come into 67Your righteousness.28May they be 68wiped out of the 69book of life, And may they not be 7071recorded with the righteous.

29But I am 72afflicted and in pain; 73May Your salvation, God, 74set me safely on high.30I will 75praise the name of God with song, And 76exalt Him with 77thanksgiving.31And it will 78please the Lord better than an ox Or bull with horns and hoofs.32The 79humble 80have seen it and are glad; You who seek God, 81let your heart 82revive.33For 83the Lord hears the needy, And 84does not despise those of His who are prisoners.
