Psalms 69:8-28

8I ambecomeנָשָׂ֣אתִיna.Sa.tiH5375a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.

9For the zeal of thine house hath eatenmeH1961upH1961; and the reproaches of them that reproach thee arefallenH1961uponH1961meH1961.

10When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to myreproachH2781.

11When Imadeוַתְּהִ֖יva.te.HiH1961sackcloth my clothing, Ibecameוָאֱהִ֖יva.'e.HiH1961a proverb unto them.

12They that sit in the gate talk ofmeוָאֶתְּנָ֣הva.'e.te.NahH5414; and I am the song of the drunkards.

13But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy, answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

14DelivermeH589out of the mire, andletH6256meH589notH6256sink:letH6256meH589be delivered from them that hatemeH589, and out of the deep waters.

16AnswermeH5921, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good:accordingH5921to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou untomeH5921.

17And hidenotH3588thyfaceפְּנֵ֣הpe.NehH6437from thy servant; for I am in distress;answerH6030meאֵלָֽי׃'e.LaiH413speedily.

18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: ransommeפָּ֭נֶיךָPa.nei.khaH6440becauseכִּֽי־ki-H3588of mine enemies.

19Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are allbeforeאֶל־'el-H413thee.

20ReproachH2781hath broken my heart; and I amfullH3605of heaviness: and I looked forsomeH3605totakeH3045pity, but there wasnoneH3605; and for comforters, but IfoundH3045noneH3605.

21They gavemeH3808also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gavemeH3808vinegar to drink.

22LetH5414their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace,letH5414it become a trap.

23LetH1961their eyes be darkened, that they seenotH1961; and make their loins continually to shake.

24PouroutH7200thine indignationuponH7200them, and let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.

25Let their habitation be desolate; let none dwell in their tents.

26For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they tell of the sorrow ofthoseH1961whom thou hast wounded,

27Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let themnotכִּֽי־ki-H3588comeintoוְאֶל־ve.'el-H413thy righteousness.
