Psalms 69

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

To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [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 sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into the depths of waters, and the flood overfloweth 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 am weary with my crying, my throat is parched; mine eyes fail while I wait for 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.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

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

Thou, O God, knowest my foolishness, and my trespasses are not hidden from thee.

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 not them that wait on thee, Lord, Jehovah of hosts, be ashamed through me; let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.

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

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.

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

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's sons;

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 the zeal of thy house hath devoured me, and the reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.

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

And I wept, my soul was fasting: that also was to my reproach; —

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

And I made sackcloth my garment: then I became a proverb to them.

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

They that sit in the gate talk of me, and [I am] the song of the drunkards.

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, my prayer is unto thee, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:

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.

Deliver me out of the mire, let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the depths of 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.

Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

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

Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy loving-kindness is good: according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, turn toward me;

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

And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: answer me speedily.

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

Draw nigh unto my soul, be its redeemer; ransom me because of mine enemies.

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

Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

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].

Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am overwhelmed: and I looked for sympathy, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

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

Yea, 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 become a snare before them, and their very welfare a trap;

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

Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not, and make their loins continually to shake.

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

Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger take hold of them.

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

Let their habitation be desolate; let there be no dweller in their tents.

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

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten, and they talk for the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.

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

Add iniquity unto their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.

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

Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.

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

But I am afflicted and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me secure on high.

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 song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving;

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

And it shall please Jehovah more than an ox, — a bullock with horns and cloven hoofs.

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

The meek shall see it, they shall be glad; ye that seek God, your heart shall live.

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

For Jehovah heareth the needy, and despiseth not his prisoners.

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

Let heavens and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moveth therein.

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 will build the cities of Judah; and they shall dwell there, and possess it:

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

And the seed of his servants shall inherit it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
