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 them that shall be changed; for David. SAVE me, O God: for the waters are come in even 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 stick fast in the mire of the deep: and there is no sure standing. I am come into the depth of the sea: and a tempest hath 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 laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse: my eyes have failed, whilst 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.
They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, who hate me without cause. My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: then did I pay that which I took not away.
5 O God you you know folly my and guilt my from you not they are hidden.
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my offences 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 be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, the Lord of hosts. Let them not be confounded on my account, who seek thee, 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; shame 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 to my brethren, and an alien 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 the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
10 And I wept with fasting self my and it became reproach to me.
And I covered my soul in fasting: and it was made a reproach to me.
11 And I made! clothing my sackcloth and I became for them a byword.
And I made haircloth my garment: and I became a byword to them.
12 They speak in me [those who] sit of [the] gate and taunt songs of drinkers of strong drink.
They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that 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, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; for the time of thy good pleasure, O God. In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in 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.
Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the 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.
Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon 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 thy mercy is kind; look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
17 And may not you hide face your from servant your for it is distress to me hurry answer me.
And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.
18 Draw near! to self my redeem it on account of enemies my ransom me.
Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my 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 confusion, and my shame.
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].
In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
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 become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.
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 their back bend thou down always.
24 Pour out on them indignation your and [the] burning of anger your may it overtake them.
Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful 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 made desolate: and let there be none to dwell 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.
Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
27 Put! iniquity to iniquity their and may not they come in righteousness your.
Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: and let them not come into thy justice.
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 the living; and with the just let them not be written.
29 And I [am] afflicted and [am] in pain salvation your O God may it set on high me.
But I am poor and sorrowful: thy salvation, O God, hath set 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 shall please God better than a young calf, that bringeth forth 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 ye God, and your soul shall live.
33 For [is] listening to needy [people] Yahweh and prisoners his not he despises.
For the Lord hath heard the poor: and hath 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 every thing that creepeth 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 Sion, and the cities of Juda shall be built up. And they shall dwell there, and 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 seed of his servants shall possess it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
