# Chapter 69
|
||||
1 Save me, O God,
|
||||
for the floodwaters are up to my neck.
|
||||
2 Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire;
|
||||
I can’t find a foothold.
|
||||
I am in deep water,
|
||||
and the floods overwhelm me.
|
||||
3 I am exhausted from crying for help;
|
||||
my throat is parched.
|
||||
My eyes are swollen with weeping,
|
||||
waiting for my God to help me.
|
||||
4 Those who hate me without cause
|
||||
outnumber the hairs on my head.
|
||||
Many enemies try to destroy me with lies,
|
||||
demanding that I give back what I didn’t steal.
|
||||
5 O God, you know how foolish I am;
|
||||
my sins cannot be hidden from you.
|
||||
6 Don’t let those who trust in you be ashamed because of me,
|
||||
O Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
|
||||
Don’t let me cause them to be humiliated,
|
||||
O God of Israel.
|
||||
7 For I endure insults for your sake;
|
||||
humiliation is written all over my face.
|
||||
8 Even my own brothers pretend they don’t know me;
|
||||
they treat me like a stranger.
|
||||
9 Passion for your house has consumed me,
|
||||
and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.
|
||||
10 When I weep and fast,
|
||||
they scoff at me.
|
||||
11 When I dress in burlap to show sorrow,
|
||||
they make fun of me.
|
||||
12 I am the favorite topic of town gossip,
|
||||
and all the drunks sing about me.
|
||||
13 But I keep praying to you, Lord,
|
||||
hoping this time you will show me favor.
|
||||
In your unfailing love, O God,
|
||||
answer my prayer with your sure salvation.
|
||||
14 Rescue me from the mud;
|
||||
don’t let me sink any deeper!
|
||||
Save me from those who hate me,
|
||||
and pull me from these deep waters.
|
||||
15 Don’t let the floods overwhelm me,
|
||||
or the deep waters swallow me,
|
||||
or the pit of death devour me.
|
||||
16 Answer my prayers, O Lord,
|
||||
for your unfailing love is wonderful.
|
||||
Take care of me,
|
||||
for your mercy is so plentiful.
|
||||
17 Don’t hide from your servant;
|
||||
answer me quickly, for I am in deep trouble!
|
||||
18 Come and redeem me;
|
||||
free me from my enemies.
|
||||
19 You know of my shame, scorn, and disgrace.
|
||||
You see all that my enemies are doing.
|
||||
20 Their insults have broken my heart,
|
||||
and I am in despair.
|
||||
If only one person would show some pity;
|
||||
if only one would turn and comfort me.
|
||||
21 But instead, they give me poison for food;
|
||||
they offer me sour wine for my thirst.
|
||||
22 Let the bountiful table set before them become a snare
|
||||
and their prosperity become a trap.
|
||||
23 Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see,
|
||||
and make their bodies shake continually.
|
||||
24 Pour out your fury on them;
|
||||
consume them with your burning anger.
|
||||
25 Let their homes become desolate
|
||||
and their tents be deserted.
|
||||
26 To the one you have punished, they add insult to injury;
|
||||
they add to the pain of those you have hurt.
|
||||
27 Pile their sins up high,
|
||||
and don’t let them go free.
|
||||
28 Erase their names from the Book of Life;
|
||||
don’t let them be counted among the righteous.
|
||||
29 I am suffering and in pain.
|
||||
Rescue me, O God, by your saving power.
|
||||
30 Then I will praise God’s name with singing,
|
||||
and I will honor him with thanksgiving.
|
||||
31 For this will please the Lord more than sacrificing cattle,
|
||||
more than presenting a bull with its horns and hooves.
|
||||
32 The humble will see their God at work and be glad.
|
||||
Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.
|
||||
33 For the Lord hears the cries of the needy;
|
||||
he does not despise his imprisoned people.
|
||||
34 Praise him, O heaven and earth,
|
||||
the seas and all that move in them.
|
||||
35 For God will save Jerusalem
|
||||
and rebuild the towns of Judah.
|
||||
His people will live there
|
||||
and settle in their own land.
|
||||
36 The descendants of those who obey him will inherit the land,
|
||||
and those who love him will live there in safety.
