69:1 |
Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck.
|
69:2 |
I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me.
|
69:3 |
I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God.
|
69:4 |
More in number than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause; many are those who would destroy me, my enemies who accuse me falsely. What I did not steal must I now restore?
|
69:5 |
O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
|
69:6 |
Do not let those who hope in you be put to shame because of me, O Lord GOD of hosts; do not let those who seek you be dishonored because of me, O God of Israel.
|
69:7 |
It is for your sake that I have borne reproach, that shame has covered my face.
|
69:8 |
I have become a stranger to my kindred, an alien to my mother's children.
|
69:9 |
It is zeal for your house that has consumed me; the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.
|
69:10 |
When I humbled my soul with fasting, they insulted me for doing so.
|
69:11 |
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
|
69:12 |
I am the subject of gossip for those who sit in the gate, and the drunkards make songs about me.
|
69:13 |
But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love, answer me. With your faithful help
|
69:14 |
rescue me from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters.
|
69:15 |
Do not let the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the Pit close its mouth over me.
|
69:16 |
Answer me, O LORD, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me.
|
69:17 |
Do not hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress-- make haste to answer me.
|
69:18 |
Draw near to me, redeem me, set me free because of my enemies.
|
69:19 |
You know the insults I receive, and my shame and dishonor; my foes are all known to you.
|
69:20 |
Insults have broken my heart, so that I am in despair. I looked for pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
|
69:21 |
They gave me poison for food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
|
69:22 |
Let their table be a trap for them, a snare for their allies.
|
69:23 |
Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and make their loins tremble continually.
|
69:24 |
Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your burning anger overtake them.
|
69:25 |
May their camp be a desolation; let no one live in their tents.
|
69:26 |
For they persecute those whom you have struck down, and those whom you have wounded, they attack still more.
|
69:27 |
Add guilt to their guilt; may they have no acquittal from you.
|
69:28 |
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; let them not be enrolled among the righteous.
|
69:29 |
But I am lowly and in pain; let your salvation, O God, protect me.
|
69:30 |
I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
|
69:31 |
This will please the LORD more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs.
|
69:32 |
Let the oppressed see it and be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive.
|
69:33 |
For the LORD hears the needy, and does not despise his own that are in bonds.
|
69:34 |
Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them.
|
69:35 |
For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah; and his servants shall live there and possess it;
|
69:36 |
the children of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall live in it.
