Psalms 69:1-13

1SaveH3467 me, O GodH430; for the watersH4325 are comeH935 in unto my soulH5315.

2I sinkH2883 in deepH4688 mireH3121, where there is no standingH4613: I am comeH935 into deepH4615 watersH4325, where the floodsH7641 overflowH7857 me.12

3I am wearyH3021 of my cryingH7121: my throatH1627 is driedH2787: mine eyesH5869 failH3615 while I waitH3176 for my GodH430.

4They that hateH8130 me without a causeH2600 are moreH7231 than the hairsH8185 of mine headH7218: they that would destroyH6789 me, being mine enemiesH341 wrongfullyH8267, are mightyH6105: then I restoredH7725 that which I took not awayH1497.

5O GodH430, thou knowestH3045 my foolishnessH200; and my sinsH819 are not hidH3582 from thee.3

6Let not them that waitH6960 on thee, O LordH136 YhwhH3069 of ArmiesH6635, be ashamedH954 for my sake: let not those that seekH1245 thee be confoundedH3637 for my sake, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

7Because for thy sake I have borneH5375 reproachH2781; shameH3639 hath coveredH3680 my faceH6440.

8I am become a strangerH2114 unto my brethrenH251, and an alienH5237 unto my mother’sH517 childrenH1121.

9For the zealH7068 of thine houseH1004 hath eaten me upH398; and the reproachesH2781 of them that reproachedH2778 thee are fallenH5307 upon me.

10When I weptH1058, and chastened my soulH5315 with fastingH6685, that was to my reproachH2781.

11I madeH5414 sackclothH8242 also my garmentH3830; and I became a proverbH4912 to them.

12They that sit inH3427 the gateH8179 speakH7878 against me; and I was the songH5058 of the drunkardsH7941H8354.4

13But as for me, my prayerH8605 is unto thee, O YhwhH3068, in an acceptableH7522 timeH6256: O GodH430, in the multitudeH7230 of thy mercyH2617 hearH6030 me, in the truthH571 of thy salvationH3468.
