Revised Version 1895

Psalms 69:1-13

1Save meH5921, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am comeH935 intoH935 deep watersH4325, where the floods overflow meH5315.

3I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my GodH369.

4They that hate meH7121 without a causeH7121 are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would cut meH7121 off, beingH430 mine enemies wrongfully, are mightyH430: then I restored that whichH5869 I took not awayH3615.

5O GodH3808, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are notH3808 hid from thee.

6LetH3808 notH3808 them that wait on thee be ashamed throughH4480 meH4480, O Lord GODH430 of hosts: letH3808 notH3808 thoseH4480 that seekH3808 thee be brought to dishonour throughH4480 meH4480, O GodH430 of Israel.

7Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shameH954 hath coveredH954 my face.

8I am becomeH5375 a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.

9For the zeal of thine house hath eaten meH1961 upH1961; and the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallenH1961 uponH1961 meH1961.

10When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproachH2781.

11When I madeH1961 sackcloth my clothing, I becameH1961 a proverb unto them.

12They that sit in the gate talk of meH5414; 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.
