# Psalm 69 (New King James Version)
|
|
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.
