Psalms 69
1 To him that excelleth upon Shoshannim. A Psalme of David. Save mee, O God: for the waters are entred euen to my soule.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ עַֽל־שׁוֹשַׁנִּים לְדָוִֽד׃ הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי אֱלֹהִים כִּי בָאוּ מַיִם עַד־נָֽפֶשׁ׃ |
2 I sticke fast in the deepe myre, where no staie is: I am come into deepe waters, and the streames runne ouer me.
| טָבַעְתִּי ׀ בִּיוֵן מְצוּלָה וְאֵין מׇעֳמָד בָּאתִי בְמַעֲמַקֵּי־מַיִם וְשִׁבֹּלֶת שְׁטָפָֽתְנִי׃ |
3 I am wearie of crying: my throte is drie: mine eyes faile, whiles I waite for my God.
| יָגַעְתִּי בְקׇרְאִי נִחַר גְּרוֹנִי כָּלוּ עֵינַי מְיַחֵל לֵאלֹהָֽי׃ |
4 They that hate mee without a cause, are moe then the heares of mine heade: they that would destroy mee, and are mine enemies falsly, are mightie, so that I restored that which I tooke not.
| רַבּוּ ׀ מִשַּׂעֲרוֹת רֹאשִׁי שֹׂנְאַי חִנָּם עָצְמוּ מַצְמִיתַי אֹיְבַי שֶׁקֶר אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־גָזַלְתִּי אָז אָשִֽׁיב׃ |
5 O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse, and my fautes are not hid from thee.
| אֱֽלֹהִים אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ לְאִוַּלְתִּי וְאַשְׁמוֹתַי מִמְּךָ לֹֽא־נִכְחָֽדוּ׃ |
6 Let not them that trust in thee, O Lord God of hostes, be ashamed for me: let not those that seeke thee, be confounded through mee, O God of Israel.
| אַל־יֵבֹשׁוּ בִי ׀ קֹוֶיךָ אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה צְבָאוֹת אַל־יִכָּלְמֽוּ בִי מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
7 For thy sake haue I suffred reproofe: shame hath couered my face.
| כִּֽי־עָלֶיךָ נָשָׂאתִי חֶרְפָּה כִּסְּתָה כְלִמָּה פָנָֽי׃ |
8 I am become a stranger vnto my brethren, euen an aliant vnto my mothers sonnes.
| מוּזָר הָיִיתִי לְאֶחָי וְנׇכְרִי לִבְנֵי אִמִּֽי׃ |
9 For the zeale of thine house hath eaten mee, and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me.
| כִּֽי־קִנְאַת בֵּיתְךָ אֲכָלָתְנִי וְחֶרְפּוֹת חוֹרְפֶיךָ נָפְלוּ עָלָֽי׃ |
10 I wept and my soule fasted, but that was to my reproofe.
| וָאֶבְכֶּה בַצּוֹם נַפְשִׁי וַתְּהִי לַחֲרָפוֹת לִֽי׃ |
11 I put on a sacke also: and I became a prouerbe vnto them.
| וָאֶתְּנָה לְבוּשִׁי שָׂק וָאֱהִי לָהֶם לְמָשָֽׁל׃ |
12 They that sate in the gate, spake of mee, and the drunkards sang of me.
| יָשִׂיחוּ בִי יֹשְׁבֵי שָׁעַר וּנְגִינוֹת שׁוֹתֵי שֵׁכָֽר׃ |
13 But Lord, I make my praier vnto thee in an acceptable time, euen in the multitude of thy mercie: O God, heare me in the trueth of thy saluation.
| וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּֽתִי־לְךָ ׀ יְהֹוָה עֵת רָצוֹן אֱלֹהִים בְּרׇב־חַסְדֶּךָ עֲנֵנִי בֶּאֱמֶת יִשְׁעֶֽךָ׃ |
14 Deliuer mee out of the myre, that I sinke not: let me be deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters.
| הַצִּילֵנִי מִטִּיט וְאַל־אֶטְבָּעָה אִנָּצְלָה מִשֹּׂנְאַי וּמִמַּעֲמַקֵּי מָֽיִם׃ |
15 Let not the water flood drowne mee, neither let the deepe swallowe me vp: and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me.
| אַל־תִּשְׁטְפֵנִי ׀ שִׁבֹּלֶת מַיִם וְאַל־תִּבְלָעֵנִי מְצוּלָה וְאַל־תֶּאְטַר־עָלַי בְּאֵר פִּֽיהָ׃ |
16 Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnes is good: turne vnto me according to ye multitude of thy tender mercies.
| עֲנֵנִי יְהֹוָה כִּי־טוֹב חַסְדֶּךָ כְּרֹב רַחֲמֶיךָ פְּנֵה אֵלָֽי׃ |
17 And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: make haste and heare me.
| וְאַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מֵעַבְדֶּךָ כִּי־צַר־לִי מַהֵר עֲנֵֽנִי׃ |
18 Draw neere vnto my soule and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies.
| קׇרְבָה אֶל־נַפְשִׁי גְאָלָהּ לְמַעַן אֹיְבַי פְּדֵֽנִי׃ |
19 Thou hast knowen my reproofe and my shame, and my dishonour: all mine aduersaries are before thee.
| אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ חֶרְפָּתִי וּבׇשְׁתִּי וּכְלִמָּתִי נֶגְדְּךָ כׇּל־צוֹרְרָֽי׃ |
20 Rebuke hath broken mine heart, and I am full of heauinesse, and I looked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was none: and for comforters, but I found none.
| חֶרְפָּה ׀ שָׁבְרָה לִבִּי וָאָנוּשָׁה וָאֲקַוֶּה לָנוּד וָאַיִן וְלַמְנַחֲמִים וְלֹא מָצָֽאתִי׃ |
21 For they gaue me gall in my meate, and in my thirst they gaue me vineger to drinke.
| וַיִּתְּנוּ בְּבָרוּתִי רֹאשׁ וְלִצְמָאִי יַשְׁקוּנִי חֹֽמֶץ׃ |
22 Let their table be a snare before them, and their prosperitie their ruine.
| יְהִי־שֻׁלְחָנָם לִפְנֵיהֶם לְפָח וְלִשְׁלוֹמִים לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ׃ |
23 Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and make their loynes alway to tremble.
| תֶּחְשַׁכְנָה עֵינֵיהֶם מֵרְאוֹת וּמׇתְנֵיהֶם תָּמִיד הַמְעַֽד׃ |
24 Powre out thine anger vpon them, and let thy wrathfull displeasure take them.
| שְׁפׇךְ־עֲלֵיהֶם זַעְמֶךָ וַחֲרוֹן אַפְּךָ יַשִּׂיגֵֽם׃ |
25 Let their habitation be voide, and let none dwell in their tents.
| תְּהִי־טִירָתָם נְשַׁמָּה בְּאׇהֳלֵיהֶם אַל־יְהִי יֹשֵֽׁב׃ |
26 For they persecute him, whome thou hast smitten: and they adde vnto the sorrowe of them, whome thou hast wounded.
| כִּי־אַתָּה אֲשֶׁר־הִכִּיתָ רָדָפוּ וְאֶל־מַכְאוֹב חֲלָלֶיךָ יְסַפֵּֽרוּ׃ |
27 Laie iniquitie vpon their iniquitie, and let them not come into thy righteousnesse.
| תְּֽנָה־עָוֺן עַל־עֲוֺנָם וְאַל־יָבֹאוּ בְּצִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃ |
28 Let them be put out of the booke of life, neither let them be written with the righteous.
| יִמָּחֽוּ מִסֵּפֶר חַיִּים וְעִם צַדִּיקִים אַל־יִכָּתֵֽבוּ׃ |
29 When I am poore and in heauinesse, thine helpe, O God, shall exalt me.
| וַאֲנִי עָנִי וְכוֹאֵב יְשׁוּעָתְךָ אֱלֹהִים תְּשַׂגְּבֵֽנִי׃ |
30 I will praise the Name of God with a song, and magnifie him with thankesgiuing.
| אֲהַלְלָה שֵׁם־אֱלֹהִים בְּשִׁיר וַאֲגַדְּלֶנּוּ בְתוֹדָֽה׃ |
31 This also shall please the Lord better then a yong bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes.
| וְתִיטַב לַיהֹוָה מִשּׁוֹר פָּר מַקְרִן מַפְרִֽיס׃ |
32 The humble shall see this, and they that seeke God, shalbe glad, and your heart shall liue.
| רָאוּ עֲנָוִים יִשְׂמָחוּ דֹּרְשֵׁי אֱלֹהִים וִיחִי לְבַבְכֶֽם׃ |
33 For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners.
| כִּי־שֹׁמֵעַ אֶל־אֶבְיוֹנִים יְהֹוָה וְאֶת־אֲסִירָיו לֹא בָזָֽה׃ |
34 Let heauen and earth praise him: the seas and all that moueth in them.
| יְֽהַלְלוּהוּ שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ יַמִּים וְֽכׇל־רֹמֵשׂ בָּֽם׃ |
35 For God will saue Zion, and builde the cities of Iudah, that men may dwell there and haue it in possession.
| כִּי אֱלֹהִים ׀ יוֹשִׁיעַ צִיּוֹן וְיִבְנֶה עָרֵי יְהוּדָה וְיָשְׁבוּ שָׁם וִירֵשֽׁוּהָ׃ |
36 The seede also of his seruants shall inherit it: and they that loue his name, shall dwel therein.
| וְזֶרַע עֲבָדָיו יִנְחָלוּהָ וְאֹהֲבֵי שְׁמוֹ יִשְׁכְּנוּ־בָֽהּ׃ |
