Psalms 69 (kjv)

To the chief Musician^H5329 upon Shoshannim^H7799, A Psalm of David^H1732. Save^H3467 me, O God^H430; for the waters^H4325 are come^H935 in unto my soul^H5315.²I sink^H2883 in deep^H4688 mire^H3121, where there is no standing^H4613: I am come^H935 into deep^H4615 waters^H4325, where the floods^H7641 overflow^H7857 me.³I am weary^H3021 of my crying^H7121: my throat^H1627 is dried^H2787: mine eyes^H5869 fail^H3615 while I wait^H3176 for my God^H430.⁴They that hate^H8130 me without a cause^H2600 are more^H7231 than the hairs^H8185 of mine head^H7218: they that would destroy^H6789 me, being mine enemies^H341 wrongfully^H8267, are mighty^H6105: then I restored^H7725 that which I took not away^H1497.⁵O God^H430, thou knowest^H3045 my foolishness^H200; and my sins^H819 are not hid^H3582 from thee.⁶Let not them that wait^H6960 on thee, O Lord^H136 GOD^H3069 of hosts^H6635, be ashamed^H954 for my sake: let not those that seek^H1245 thee be confounded^H3637 for my sake, O God^H430 of Israel^H3478.⁷Because for thy sake I have borne^H5375 reproach^H2781; shame^H3639 hath covered^H3680 my face^H6440.⁸I am become a stranger^H2114 unto my brethren^H251, and an alien^H5237 unto my mother's^H517 children^H1121.⁹For the zeal^H7068 of thine house^H1004 hath eaten me up^H398; and the reproaches^H2781 of them that reproached^H2778 thee are fallen^H5307 upon me.¹⁰When I wept^H1058, and chastened my soul^H5315 with fasting^H6685, that was to my reproach^H2781.¹¹I made^H5414 sackcloth^H8242 also my garment^H3830; and I became a proverb^H4912 to them.¹²They that sit in^H3427 the gate^H8179 speak^H7878 against me; and I was the song^H5058 of the drunkards^{H8354 H7941}.

¹³But as for me, my prayer^H8605 is unto thee, O LORD^H3068, in an acceptable^H7522 time^H6256: O God^H430, in the multitude^H7230 of thy mercy^H2617 hear^H6030 me, in the truth^H571 of thy salvation^H3468.¹⁴Deliver^H5337 me out of the mire^H2916, and let me not sink^H2883: let me be delivered^H5337 from them that hate^H8130 me, and out of the deep^H4615 waters^H4325.¹⁵Let not the waterflood^{H4325 H7641} overflow^H7857 me, neither let the deep^H4688 swallow me up^H1104, and let not the pit^H875 shut^H332 her mouth^H6310 upon me.¹⁶Hear^H6030 me, O LORD^H3068; for thy lovingkindness^H2617 is good^H2896: turn^H6437 unto me according to the multitude^H7230 of thy tender mercies^H7356.¹⁷And hide^H5641 not thy face^H6440 from thy servant^H5650; for I am in trouble^H6887: hear^H6030 me speedily^H4118.¹⁸Draw nigh^H7126 unto my soul^H5315, and redeem^H1350 it: deliver^H6299 me because of mine enemies^H341.¹⁹Thou hast known^H3045 my reproach^H2781, and my shame^H1322, and my dishonour^H3639: mine adversaries^H6887 are all before thee.²⁰Reproach^H2781 hath broken^H7665 my heart^H3820; and I am full of heaviness^H5136: and I looked^H6960 for some to take pity^H5110, but there was none; and for comforters^H5162, but I found^H4672 none.²¹They gave^H5414 me also gall^H7219 for my meat^H1267; and in my thirst^H6772 they gave me vinegar^H2558 to drink^H8248.

²²Let their table^H7979 become a snare^H6341 before^H6440 them: and that which should have been for their welfare^H7965, let it become a trap^H4170.²³Let their eyes^H5869 be darkened^H2821, that they see^H7200 not; and make their loins^H4975 continually^H8548 to shake^H4571.²⁴Pour out^H8210 thine indignation^H2195 upon them, and let thy wrathful^H2740 anger^H639 take hold^H5381 of them.²⁵Let their habitation^H2918 be desolate^H8074; and let none dwell^H3427 in their tents^H168.²⁶For they persecute^H7291 him whom thou hast smitten^H5221; and they talk^H5608 to the grief^H4341 of those whom thou hast wounded^H2491.²⁷Add^H5414 iniquity^H5771 unto their iniquity^H5771: and let them not come^H935 into thy righteousness^H6666.²⁸Let them be blotted^H4229 out of the book^H5612 of the living^H2416, and not be written^H3789 with the righteous^H6662.²⁹But I am poor^H6041 and sorrowful^H3510: let thy salvation^H3444, O God^H430, set me up on high^H7682.

³⁰I will praise^H1984 the name^H8034 of God^H430 with a song^H7892, and will magnify^H1431 him with thanksgiving^H8426.³¹This also shall please^H3190 the LORD^H3068 better^H3190 than an ox^H7794 or bullock^H6499 that hath horns^H7160 and hoofs^H6536.³²The humble^H6035 shall see^H7200 this, and be glad^H8055: and your heart^H3824 shall live^H2421 that seek^H1875 God^H430.³³For the LORD^H3068 heareth^H8085 the poor^H34, and despiseth^H959 not his prisoners^H615.³⁴Let the heaven^H8064 and earth^H776 praise^H1984 him, the seas^H3220, and every thing that moveth^H7430 therein.³⁵For God^H430 will save^H3467 Zion^H6726, and will build^H1129 the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063: that they may dwell^H3427 there, and have it in possession^H3423.³⁶The seed^H2233 also of his servants^H5650 shall inherit^H5157 it: and they that love^H157 his name^H8034 shall dwell^H7931 therein.
