An Urgent Plea for Help in Trouble

# Chapter 69
|
|
1. Save me, O God!
|
|
For the waters have come up to my neck.
|
|
|
|
2. I sink in deep mire,
|
|
Where there is no standing;
|
|
I have come into deep waters,
|
|
Where the floods overflow me.
|
|
|
|
3. I am weary with my crying;
|
|
My throat is dry;
|
|
My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
|
|
|
|
4. Those who hate me without a cause
|
|
Are more than the hairs of my head;
|
|
They are mighty who would destroy me,
|
|
Being my enemies wrongfully;
|
|
Though I have stolen nothing,
|
|
I still must restore it.
|
|
|
|
5. O God, You know my foolishness;
|
|
And my sins are not hidden from You.
|
|
|
|
6. Let not those who wait for You, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed because of me;
|
|
Let not those who seek You be confounded because of me, O God of Israel.
|
|
|
|
7. Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
|
|
Shame has covered my face.
|
|
|
|
8. I have become a stranger to my brothers,
|
|
And an alien to my mother's children;
|
|
|
|
9. Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up,
|
|
And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
|
|
|
|
10. When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting,
|
|
That became my reproach.
|
|
|
|
11. I also made sackcloth my garment;
|
|
I became a byword to them.
|
|
|
|
12. Those who sit in the gate speak against me,
|
|
And I am the song of the drunkards.
|
|
|
|
13. But as for me, my prayer is to You,
|
|
O Lord, in the acceptable time;
|
|
O God, in the multitude of Your mercy,
|
|
Hear me in the truth of Your salvation.
|
|
|
|
14. Deliver me out of the mire,
|
|
And let me not sink;
|
|
Let me be delivered from those who hate me,
|
|
And out of the deep waters.
|
|
|
|
15. Let not the floodwater overflow me,
|
|
Nor let the deep swallow me up;
|
|
And let not the pit shut its mouth on me.
|
|
|
|
16. Hear me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good;
|
|
Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.
|
|
|
|
17. And do not hide Your face from Your servant,
|
|
For I am in trouble;
|
|
Hear me speedily.
|
|
|
|
18. Draw near to my soul, and redeem it;
|
|
Deliver me because of my enemies.
|
|
|
|
19. You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor;
|
|
My adversaries are all before You.
|
|
|
|
20. Reproach has broken my heart,
|
|
And I am full of heaviness;
|
|
I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none;
|
|
And for comforters, but I found none.
|
|
|
|
21. They also gave me gall for my food,
|
|
And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
|
|
|
|
22. Let their table become a snare before them,
|
|
And their well-being a trap.
|
|
|
|
23. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see;
|
|
And make their loins shake continually.
|
|
|
|
24. Pour out Your indignation upon them,
|
|
And let Your wrathful anger take hold of them.
|
|
|
|
25. Let their dwelling place be desolate;
|
|
Let no one live in their tents.
|
|
|
|
26. For they persecute the ones You have struck,
|
|
And talk of the grief of those You have wounded.
|
|
|
|
27. Add iniquity to their iniquity,
|
|
And let them not come into Your righteousness.
|
|
|
|
28. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living,
|
|
And not be written with the righteous.
|
|
|
|
29. But I am poor and sorrowful;
|
|
Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.
|
|
|
|
30. I will praise the name of God with a song,
|
|
And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
|
|
|
|
31. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bull,
|
|
Which has horns and hooves.
|
|
|
|
32. The humble shall see this and be glad;
|
|
And you who seek God, your hearts shall live.
|
|
|
|
33. For the Lord hears the poor,
|
|
And does not despise His prisoners.
|
|
|
|
34. Let heaven and earth praise Him,
|
|
The seas and everything that moves in them.
|
|
|
|
35. For God will save Zion
|
|
And build the cities of Judah,
|
|
That they may dwell there and possess it.
|
|
|
|
36. Also, the descendants of His servants shall inherit it,
|
|
And those who love His name shall dwell in it.
