< Psalms 69 >
1 To the choirmaster on Shoshannim of David. Save me O God for they have come waters to [the] neck.
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.
3 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 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 you know folly my and guilt my from you not they are hidden.
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.
7 For on you I have borne reproach it has covered ignominy face my.
8 Estranged I have become to brothers my and a foreigner to [the] children of mother my.
9 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 wept with fasting self my and it became reproach to me.
11 And I made! clothing my sackcloth and I became for them a byword.
12 They speak in me [those who] sit of [the] gate and taunt songs of drinkers of strong drink.
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.
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.
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.
16 Answer me O Yahweh for [is] good covenant loyalty your according to [the] greatness of compassion your turn to me.
17 And may not you hide face your from servant your for it is distress to me hurry answer me.
18 Draw near! to self my redeem it on account of enemies my ransom me.
19 You you know reproach my and shame my and ignominy my [are] before you all opposers my.
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].
21 And they put in food my poison and for thirst my they gave to drink me vinegar.
22 May it become table their before them a trap and for allies a snare.
23 May they grow dim eyes their from seeing and loins their continually make to shake.
24 Pour out on them indignation your and [the] burning of anger your may it overtake them.
25 May it be encampment their made desolate in tents their may not anyone be dwelling.
26 For you [those] whom you struck they have harassed and concerning [the] pain of fatally wounded [ones] your they have recounted.
27 Put! iniquity to iniquity their and may not they come in righteousness your.
28 May they be wiped out from [the] scroll of life and with righteous [people] may not they be written down.
29 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 God with a song and I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 So it may be good to Yahweh more than an ox a young bull having horns having hooves.
32 They will see humble [people] they will rejoice O [you who] seek God and may it live heart your.
33 For [is] listening to needy [people] Yahweh and prisoners his not he despises.
34 May they praise him heaven and earth [the] seas and every [thing which] moves in them.
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.
36 And [the] offspring of servants his they will inherit it and [those who] love name his they will dwell in it.
