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.
| לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ עַֽל־שֹׁושַׁנִּ֬ים לְדָוִֽד׃ הֹושִׁיעֵ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֤י בָ֖אוּ מַ֣יִם 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.
| טָבַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בִּיוֵ֣ן מְ֭צוּלָה וְאֵ֣ין מָעֳמָ֑ד בָּ֥אתִי בְמַעֲמַקֵּי־מַ֝֗יִם וְשִׁבֹּ֥לֶת שְׁטָפָֽתְנִי׃ |
3 I am wearie of crying: my throte is drie: mine eyes faile, whiles I waite for my God.
| יָגַ֣עְתִּי בְקָרְאִי֮ נִחַ֪ר גְּרֹ֫ונִ֥י כָּל֥וּ עֵינַ֑י מְ֝יַחֵ֗ל 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.
| רַבּ֤וּ ׀ מִשַּׂעֲרֹ֣ות רֹאשִׁי֮ שֹׂנְאַ֪י חִ֫נָּ֥ם עָצְמ֣וּ מַ֭צְמִיתַי אֹיְבַ֣י שֶׁ֑קֶר אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־גָ֝זַ֗לְתִּי אָ֣ז אָשִֽׁיב׃ |
5 O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse, and my fautes are not hid from thee.
| אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים אַתָּ֣ה יָ֭דַעְתָּ לְאִוַּלְתִּ֑י וְ֝אַשְׁמֹותַ֗י מִמְּךָ֥ לֹא־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־יֵ֘בֹ֤שׁוּ בִ֨י ׀ קֹוֶיךָ֮ אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִ֗ה צְבָ֫אֹ֥ות אַל־יִכָּ֣לְמוּ בִ֣י מְבַקְשֶׁ֑יךָ אֱ֝לֹהֵ֗י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
7 For thy sake haue I suffred reproofe: shame hath couered my face.
| כִּֽי־עָ֭לֶיךָ נָשָׂ֣אתִי חֶרְפָּ֑ה כִּסְּתָ֖ה כְלִמָּ֣ה פָנָֽי׃ |
8 I am become a stranger vnto my brethren, euen an aliant vnto my mothers sonnes.
| מ֖וּזָר הָיִ֣יתִי לְאֶחָ֑י וְ֝נָכְרִ֗י לִבְנֵ֥י אִמִּֽי׃ |
9 For the zeale of thine house hath eaten mee, and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me.
| כִּֽי־קִנְאַ֣ת בֵּיתְךָ֣ אֲכָלָ֑תְנִי וְחֶרְפֹּ֥ות חֹ֝ורְפֶ֗יךָ נָפְל֥וּ עָלָֽי׃ |
10 I wept and my soule fasted, but that was to my reproofe.
| וָאֶבְכֶּ֣ה בַצֹּ֣ום נַפְשִׁ֑י וַתְּהִ֖י לַחֲרָפֹ֣ות לִֽי׃ |
11 I put on a sacke also: and I became a prouerbe vnto them.
| וָאֶתְּנָ֣ה לְבוּשִׁ֣י שָׂ֑ק וָאֱהִ֖י לָהֶ֣ם לְמָשָֽׁל׃ |
12 They that sate in the gate, spake of mee, and the drunkards sang of me.
| יָשִׂ֣יחוּ בִ֭י יֹ֣שְׁבֵי שָׁ֑עַר וּ֝נְגִינֹ֗ות שֹׁותֵ֥י 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.
| וַאֲנִ֤י תְפִלָּתִֽי־לְךָ֨ ׀ יְהוָ֡ה עֵ֤ת רָצֹ֗ון אֱלֹהִ֥ים בְּרָב־חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ עֲ֝נֵ֗נִי בֶּאֱמֶ֥ת 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.
| הַצִּילֵ֣נִי מִ֭טִּיט וְאַל־אֶטְבָּ֑עָה אִנָּצְלָ֥ה מִ֝שֹּֽׂנְאַ֗י וּמִמַּֽעֲמַקֵּי־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־תִּשְׁטְפֵ֤נִי ׀ שִׁבֹּ֣לֶת מַ֭יִם וְאַל־תִּבְלָעֵ֣נִי מְצוּלָ֑ה וְאַל־תֶּאְטַר־עָלַ֖י בְּאֵ֣ר פִּֽיהָ׃ |
16 Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnes is good: turne vnto me according to ye multitude of thy tender mercies.
| עֲנֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה כִּי־טֹ֣וב חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ כְּרֹ֥ב רַ֝חֲמֶ֗יךָ פְּנֵ֣ה אֵלָֽי׃ |
17 And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: make haste and heare me.
| וְאַל־תַּסְתֵּ֣ר פָּ֭נֶיךָ מֵֽעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ כִּֽי־צַר־לִ֝֗י מַהֵ֥ר עֲנֵֽנִי׃ |
18 Draw neere vnto my soule and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies.
| קָרְבָ֣ה אֶל־נַפְשִׁ֣י גְאָלָ֑הּ לְמַ֖עַן אֹיְבַ֣י פְּדֵֽנִי׃ |
19 Thou hast knowen my reproofe and my shame, and my dishonour: all mine aduersaries are before thee.
| אַתָּ֤ה יָדַ֗עְתָּ חֶרְפָּתִ֣י וּ֭בָשְׁתִּי וּכְלִמָּתִ֑י נֶ֝גְדְּךָ֗ כָּל־צֹורְרָֽי׃ |
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.
| חֶרְפָּ֤ה ׀ שָֽׁבְרָ֥ה לִבִּ֗י וָֽאָ֫נ֥וּשָׁה וָאֲקַוֶּ֣ה לָנ֣וּד וָאַ֑יִן וְ֝לַמְנַחֲמִ֗ים וְלֹ֣א מָצָֽאתִי׃ |
21 For they gaue me gall in my meate, and in my thirst they gaue me vineger to drinke.
| וַיִּתְּנ֣וּ בְּבָרוּתִ֣י רֹ֑אשׁ וְ֝לִצְמָאִ֗י יַשְׁק֥וּנִי חֹֽמֶץ׃ |
22 Let their table be a snare before them, and their prosperitie their ruine.
| יְהִֽי־שֻׁלְחָנָ֣ם לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם לְפָ֑ח וְלִשְׁלֹומִ֥ים לְמֹוקֵֽשׁ׃ |
23 Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and make their loynes alway to tremble.
| תֶּחְשַׁ֣כְנָה עֵ֭ינֵיהֶם מֵרְאֹ֑ות וּ֝מָתְנֵ֗יהֶם תָּמִ֥יד הַמְעַֽד׃ |
24 Powre out thine anger vpon them, and let thy wrathfull displeasure take them.
| שְׁפָךְ־עֲלֵיהֶ֥ם זַעְמֶ֑ךָ וַחֲרֹ֥ון אַ֝פְּךָ֗ יַשִּׂיגֵֽם׃ |
25 Let their habitation be voide, and let none dwell in their tents.
| תְּהִי־טִֽירָתָ֥ם נְשַׁמָּ֑ה בְּ֝אָהֳלֵיהֶ֗ם אַל־יְהִ֥י יֹשֵֽׁב׃ |
26 For they persecute him, whome thou hast smitten: and they adde vnto the sorrowe of them, whome thou hast wounded.
| כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה אֲשֶׁר־הִכִּ֣יתָ רָדָ֑פוּ וְאֶל־מַכְאֹ֖וב חֲלָלֶ֣יךָ יְסַפֵּֽרוּ׃ |
27 Laie iniquitie vpon their iniquitie, and let them not come into thy righteousnesse.
| תְּֽנָה־עָ֭וֹן עַל־עֲוֹנָ֑ם וְאַל־יָ֝בֹ֗אוּ בְּצִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃ |
28 Let them be put out of the booke of life, neither let them be written with the righteous.
| יִ֭מָּחֽוּ מִסֵּ֣פֶר חַיִּ֑ים וְעִ֥ם צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים אַל־יִכָּתֵֽבוּ׃ |
29 When I am poore and in heauinesse, thine helpe, O God, shall exalt me.
| וַ֭אֲנִי עָנִ֣י וְכֹואֵ֑ב יְשׁוּעָתְךָ֖ אֱלֹהִ֣ים תְּשַׂגְּבֵֽנִי׃ |
30 I will praise the Name of God with a song, and magnifie him with thankesgiuing.
| אֲהַֽלְלָ֣ה שֵׁם־אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּשִׁ֑יר וַאֲגַדְּלֶ֥נּוּ בְתֹודָֽה׃ |
31 This also shall please the Lord better then a yong bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes.
| וְתִיטַ֣ב לַֽ֭יהוָה מִשֹּׁ֥ור פָּ֗ר מַקְרִ֥ן מַפְרִֽיס׃ |
32 The humble shall see this, and they that seeke God, shalbe glad, and your heart shall liue.
| רָא֣וּ עֲנָוִ֣ים יִשְׂמָ֑חוּ דֹּרְשֵׁ֥י אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים וִיחִ֥י לְבַבְכֶֽם׃ |
33 For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners.
| כִּֽי־שֹׁמֵ֣עַ אֶל־אֶבְיֹונִ֣ים יְהוָ֑ה וְאֶת־אֲ֝סִירָ֗יו לֹ֣א בָזָֽה׃ |
34 Let heauen and earth praise him: the seas and all that moueth in them.
| יְֽ֭הַלְלוּהוּ שָׁמַ֣יִם וָאָ֑רֶץ יַ֝מִּ֗ים וְֽכָל־רֹמֵ֥שׂ בָּֽם׃ |
35 For God will saue Zion, and builde the cities of Iudah, that men may dwell there and haue it in possession.
| כִּ֤י אֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ יֹ֘ושִׁ֤יעַ צִיֹּ֗ון וְ֭יִבְנֶה עָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֑ה וְיָ֥שְׁבוּ שָׁ֝֗ם וִירֵשֽׁוּהָ׃ |
36 The seede also of his seruants shall inherit it: and they that loue his name, shall dwel therein.
| וְזֶ֣רַע עֲ֭בָדָיו יִנְחָל֑וּהָ וְאֹהֲבֵ֥י שְׁ֝מֹ֗ו יִשְׁכְּנוּ־בָֽהּ׃ |
