Psalms 69

  1. \69:1\To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in to my soul.
  2. \69:2\I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
  3. \69:3\I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: my eyes fail while I wait for my God.
  4. \69:4\They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
  5. \69:5\O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
  6. \69:6\Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
  7. \69:7\Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
  8. \69:8\I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to my mother's children.
  9. \69:9\For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee have fallen upon me.
  10. \69:10\When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
  11. \69:11\I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
  12. \69:12\They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
  13. \69:13\But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
  14. \69:14\Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
  15. \69:15\Let not the water-flood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
  16. \69:16\Hear me, O LORD; for thy loving-kindness is good: turn to me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
  17. \69:17\And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
  18. \69:18\Draw nigh to my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.
  19. \69:19\Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: my adversaries are all before thee.
  20. \69:20\Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
  21. \69:21\They gave me also gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
  22. \69:22\Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
  23. \69:23\Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
  24. \69:24\Pour out thy indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
  25. \69:25\Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
  26. \69:26\For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
  27. \69:27\Add iniquity to their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
  28. \69:28\Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
  29. \69:29\But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
  30. \69:30\I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
  31. \69:31\This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
  32. \69:32\The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
  33. \69:33\For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
  34. \69:34\Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
  35. \69:35\For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
  36. \69:36\The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
