Psalms 69
1
Save me, God,
2
I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold.
3
I am weary with my crying.
My throat is dry.
My eyes fail looking for my God. 4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head.
Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. 5 God, you know my foolishness. 6 Don’t let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord GOD of Armies.
Don’t let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, God of Israel. 7 Because for your sake, I have borne reproach. 8 I have become a stranger to my brothers, 9 For the zeal of your house consumes me. 10 When I wept and I fasted, 11 When I made sackcloth my clothing, 12 Those who sit in the gate talk about me. 13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, LORD, in an acceptable time.
God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation. 14 Deliver me out of the mire, and don’t let me sink. 15 Don’t let the flood waters overwhelm me,
Don’t let the pit shut its mouth on me. 16 Answer me, LORD, for your loving kindness is good. 17 Don’t hide your face from your servant, 18 Draw near to my soul and redeem it.
Ransom me because of my enemies. 19 You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor. 20 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. 21 They also gave me poison for my food. 22 Let their table before them become a snare. 23 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see. 24 Pour out your indignation on them.
Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them. 25 Let their habitation be desolate.
Let no one dwell in their tents. 26 For they persecute him whom you have wounded.
They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt. 27 Charge them with crime upon crime.
Don’t let them come into your righteousness. 28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life, 29 But I am in pain and distress.
Let your salvation, God, protect me. 30 I will praise the name of God with a song, 31 It will please the LORD better than an ox,
or a bull that has horns and hoofs. 32 The humble have seen it, and are glad. 33 For the LORD hears the needy, 34 Let heaven and earth praise him; 35 For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. 36 The children also of his servants shall inherit it.
