Psalms 69

1 To the choirmaster on Shoshannim of David. Save me O God for they have come waters to [the] neck.

Unto the end. For those who will be changed: of David. Save me, O God, for the waters have entered, even to my soul.

2 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.

I have become stuck in a deep quagmire, and there is no firm footing. I have arrived at the height of the sea, and a tempest has overwhelmed me.

3 I have become weary by calling out my it has become parched throat my they have failed eyes my waiting for God my.

I have endured hardships, while crying out. My jaws have become hoarse; my eyes have failed. Meanwhile, I hope in my God.

4 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.

Those who hate me without cause have been multiplied beyond the hairs of my head. My enemies, who persecuted me unjustly, have been strengthened. Then I was required to pay for what I did not take.

5 O God you you know folly my and guilt my from you not they are hidden.

O God, you know my foolishness, and my offenses have not been hidden from you.

6 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.

Let those who wait for you, O Lord, the Lord of hosts, not be shamed in me. Let those who seek you, O God of Israel, not be confounded over me.

7 For on you I have borne reproach it has covered ignominy face my.

For because of you, I have endured reproach; confusion has covered my face.

8 Estranged I have become to brothers my and a foreigner to [the] children of mother my.

I have become a stranger to my brothers and a sojourner to the sons of my mother.

9 For [the] zeal of house your it has consumed me and [the] reproaches of [those who] reproach you they have fallen on me.

For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproached you have fallen upon me.

10 And I wept with fasting self my and it became reproach to me.

And I covered my soul with fasting, and it has become a reproach to me.

11 And I made! clothing my sackcloth and I became for them a byword.

And I put on a haircloth as my garment, and I became a parable to them.

12 They speak in me [those who] sit of [the] gate and taunt songs of drinkers of strong drink.

Those who sat at the gate spoke against me, and those who drank wine made me their song.

13 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.

But as for me, truly, my prayer is to you, O Lord. This time has pleased you well, O God. In the multitude of your mercy, in the truth of your salvation, hear me.

14 Deliver me from [the] mud and may not I sink may I be delivered from [those who] hate me and from depths of water.

Rescue me from the quagmire, so that I may not become trapped. Free me from those who hate me and from deep waters.

15 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.

Do not allow the tempest of water to submerge me, nor the deep to absorb me. And do not allow the well to close in on me.

16 Answer me O Yahweh for [is] good covenant loyalty your according to [the] greatness of compassion your turn to me.

Hear me, O Lord, for your mercy is kind. Look upon me, according to the fullness of your compassion.

17 And may not you hide face your from servant your for it is distress to me hurry answer me.

And do not turn your face away from your servant, for I am in trouble: heed me quickly.

18 Draw near! to self my redeem it on account of enemies my ransom me.

Attend to my soul, and free it. Rescue me, because of my enemies.

19 You you know reproach my and shame my and ignominy my [are] before you all opposers my.

You know my reproach, and my confusion, and my reverence.

20 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].

All those who trouble me are in your sight; my heart has anticipated reproach and misery. And I sought for one who might grieve together with me, but there was no one, and for one who might console me, and I found no one.

21 And they put in food my poison and for thirst my they gave to drink me vinegar.

And they gave me gall for my food. And in my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.

22 May it become table their before them a trap and for allies a snare.

Let their table be a snare before them, and a retribution, and a scandal.

23 May they grow dim eyes their from seeing and loins their continually make to shake.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they may not see, and may their back always be crooked.

24 Pour out on them indignation your and [the] burning of anger your may it overtake them.

Pour out your indignation upon them, and may the fury of your anger take hold of them.

25 May it be encampment their made desolate in tents their may not anyone be dwelling.

May their dwelling place be deserted, and may there be no one who dwells in their tabernacles.

26 For you [those] whom you struck they have harassed and concerning [the] pain of fatally wounded [ones] your they have recounted.

For they persecuted whomever you struck. And they have added to the grief of my wounds.

27 Put! iniquity to iniquity their and may not they come in righteousness your.

Assign an iniquity upon their iniquity, and may they not enter into your justice.

28 May they be wiped out from [the] scroll of life and with righteous [people] may not they be written down.

Delete them from the Book of the Living, and let them not be written down with the just.

29 And I [am] afflicted and [am] in pain salvation your O God may it set on high me.

I am poor and sorrowful, but your salvation, O God, has taken me up.

30 I will praise [the] name of God with a song and I will magnify him with thanksgiving.

I will praise the name of God with a canticle, and I will magnify him with praise.

31 So it may be good to Yahweh more than an ox a young bull having horns having hooves.

And it will please God more than a new calf producing horns and hoofs.

32 They will see humble [people] they will rejoice O [you who] seek God and may it live heart your.

Let the poor see and rejoice. Seek God, and your soul will live.

33 For [is] listening to needy [people] Yahweh and prisoners his not he despises.

For the Lord has heard the poor, and he has not despised his prisoners.

34 May they praise him heaven and earth [the] seas and every [thing which] moves in them.

Let the heavens and the earth praise him: the sea, and everything that crawls in it.

35 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.

For God will save Zion, and the cities of Judah will be built up. And they will dwell there, and they will acquire it by inheritance.

36 And [the] offspring of servants his they will inherit it and [those who] love name his they will dwell in it.

And the offspring of his servants will possess it; and those who love his name will dwell in it.
