A Cry of Distress and Imprecation on Adversaries.
For the choir director; according to Shoshannim. A Psalm of David. |
|
|
 |
| Psalm 69:1 |
|
Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened
my life. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:2 |
|
I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 69:3 |
|
I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched;
My eyes fail while I wait for my God. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 69:4 |
|
Those who hate me without a cause are more than
the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully
my enemies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 69:5 |
|
O God, it is You who knows my folly, And my
wrongs are not hidden from You. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 69:6 |
|
May those who wait for You not be ashamed through
me, O Lord GOD of hosts; May those who seek You not be dishonored through me,
O God of Israel, |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 69:7 |
|
Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
Dishonor has covered my face. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:8 |
|
I have become estranged from my brothers And
an alien to my mother's sons. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:9 |
|
For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And
the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:10 |
|
When I wept in my soul with fasting, It became
my reproach. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:11 |
|
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became
a byword to them. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:12 |
|
Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And
I am the song of the drunkards. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:13 |
|
But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD,
at an acceptable time; O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness, Answer
me with Your saving truth. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:14 |
|
Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink;
May I be delivered from my foes and from the deep waters. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:15 |
|
May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the
deep swallow me up, Nor the pit shut its mouth on me. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:16 |
|
Answer me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is
good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me, |
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:17 |
|
And do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am in distress; answer me quickly. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:18 |
|
Oh draw near to my soul and redeem it; Ransom
me because of my enemies! |
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:19 |
|
You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor;
All my adversaries are before You. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 69:20 |
|
Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick.
And I looked for sympathy, but there was none, And for comforters, but I found
none. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 69:21 |
|
They also gave me gall for my food And for my
thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:22 |
|
May their table before them become a snare;
And when they are in peace, may it become a trap. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:23 |
|
May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot
see, And make their loins shake continually. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:24 |
|
Pour out Your indignation on them, And may Your
burning anger overtake them. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:25 |
|
May their camp be desolate; May none dwell in
their tents. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:26 |
|
For they have persecuted him whom You Yourself
have smitten, And they tell of the pain of those whom You have wounded. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:27 |
|
Add iniquity to their iniquity, And may they
not come into Your righteousness. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:28 |
|
May they be blotted out of the book of life
And may they not be recorded with the righteous. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:29 |
|
But I am afflicted and in pain; May Your salvation,
O God, set me securely on high. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:30 |
|
I will praise the name of God with song And
magnify Him with thanksgiving. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:31 |
|
And it will please the LORD better than an
ox Or a young bull with horns and hoofs. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:32 |
|
The humble have seen it and are glad; You who
seek God, let your heart revive. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:33 |
|
For the LORD hears the needy And does not despise
His who are prisoners. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:34 |
|
Let heaven and earth praise Him, The seas and
everything that moves in them. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:35 |
|
For God will save Zion and build the cities
of Judah, That they may dwell there and possess it. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 69:36 |
|
The descendants of His servants will inherit
it, And those who love His name will dwell in it. |
