< Psalms 69 >
1 For the end, [a Psalm] of David, for alternate [strains]. Save me, O God; for the waters have come in to my soul.
To the choirmaster on Shoshannim of David. Save me O God for they have come waters to [the] neck.
2 I am stuck fast in deep mire, and there is no standing: I am come in to the depths of the sea, and a storm has overwhelmed me.
I have sunk - in mire of depth and there not [is] a foothold I have come in depths of water and a flood it has overflowed me.
3 I am weary [of] crying, my throat has become hoarse; mine eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.
I have become weary by calling out my it has become parched throat my they have failed eyes my waiting for God my.
4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: my enemies that persecute me unrighteously are strengthened: then I restored that which I took not away.
They are many - more than [the] hairs of head my [those who] hate me without cause they are numerous [those who] destroy me enemies my falsehood [that] which not I stole then I will return.
5 O God, you know my foolishness; and my transgressions are not hidden from you.
O God you you know folly my and guilt my from you not they are hidden.
6 Let not them that wait on you, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek you, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.
May not they be ashamed in me - [those who] wait for you O Lord Yahweh of hosts may not they be humiliated in me [those who] seek you O God of Israel.
7 For I have suffered reproach for your sake; shame has covered my face.
For on you I have borne reproach it has covered ignominy face my.
8 I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.
Estranged I have become to brothers my and a foreigner to [the] children of mother my.
9 For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.
For [the] zeal of house your it has consumed me and [the] reproaches of [those who] reproach you they have fallen on me.
10 And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach.
And I wept with fasting self my and it became reproach to me.
11 And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.
And I made! clothing my sackcloth and I became for them a byword.
12 They that sit in the gate talked against me, and they that drank wine sang against me.
They speak in me [those who] sit of [the] gate and taunt songs of drinkers of strong drink.
13 But I [will cry] to you, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation.
And I prayer my [is] to you - O Yahweh a time of favor O God in [the] greatness of covenant loyalty your answer me in [the] faithfulness of salvation your.
14 Save me from the mire, that I stick not [in it]: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.
Deliver me from [the] mud and may not I sink may I be delivered from [those who] hate me and from depths of water.
15 Let not the waterflood drown me, nor let the deep swallow me up; neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.
May not it overflow me - a flood of water and may not it swallow up me [the] deep and may not it close over me [the] pit mouth its.
16 Hear me, O Lord; for your mercy is good: according to the multitude of your compassions look upon me.
Answer me O Yahweh for [is] good covenant loyalty your according to [the] greatness of compassion your turn to me.
17 And turn not away your face from your servant; for I am afflicted: hear me speedily.
And may not you hide face your from servant your for it is distress to me hurry answer me.
18 Draw near to my soul and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
Draw near! to self my redeem it on account of enemies my ransom me.
19 For you know my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before you.
You you know reproach my and shame my and ignominy my [are] before you all opposers my.
20 My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none.
Reproach - it has broken heart my and I have become sick! and I waited to show sympathy and there not and for comforters and not I found [them].
21 They gave [me] also gall for my food, and made me drink vinegar for my thirst.
And they put in food my poison and for thirst my they gave to drink me vinegar.
22 Let their table before them be for a snare, and for a recompense, and for a stumbling block.
May it become table their before them a trap and for allies a snare.
23 Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; and bow down their back continually.
May they grow dim eyes their from seeing and loins their continually make to shake.
24 Pour out your wrath upon them, and let the fury of your anger take hold on them.
Pour out on them indignation your and [the] burning of anger your may it overtake them.
25 Let their habitation be made desolate; and let there be no inhabitant in their tents:
May it be encampment their made desolate in tents their may not anyone be dwelling.
26 Because they persecuted him whom you have struck; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
For you [those] whom you struck they have harassed and concerning [the] pain of fatally wounded [ones] your they have recounted.
27 Add iniquity to their iniquity; and let them not come into your righteousness.
Put! iniquity to iniquity their and may not they come in righteousness your.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and let them not be written with the righteous.
May they be wiped out from [the] scroll of life and with righteous [people] may not they be written down.
29 I am poor and sorrowful; but the salvation of your countenance has helped me.
And I [am] afflicted and [am] in pain salvation your O God may it set on high me.
30 I will praise the name of my God with a song, I will magnify him with praise;
I will praise [the] name of God with a song and I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 and [this] shall please God more than a young calf having horns and hoofs.
So it may be good to Yahweh more than an ox a young bull having horns having hooves.
32 Let the poor see and rejoice; seek the Lord diligently, and you shall live.
They will see humble [people] they will rejoice O [you who] seek God and may it live heart your.
33 For the Lord hears the poor, and does not set at nothing his fettered ones.
For [is] listening to needy [people] Yahweh and prisoners his not he despises.
34 Let the heavens and the earth raise him, the sea, and all things moving in them.
May they praise him heaven and earth [the] seas and every [thing which] moves in them.
35 For God will save Sion, and the cities of Judea shall be built; and [men] shall dwell there, and inherit it.
For God - he will save Zion so he may rebuild [the] cities of Judah and they will dwell there and they will take possession of it.
36 And the seed of his servants shall possess it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
And [the] offspring of servants his they will inherit it and [those who] love name his they will dwell in it.
