< Psalms 69 >
1 For the chief musician; set to Shoshannim. A psalm of David. Save me, God; for the waters have put my life in danger.
To the choirmaster on Shoshannim of David. Save me O God for they have come waters to [the] neck.
2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no place to stand; I have come into deep waters, where the floods flow over 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 with my crying; my throat is dry; my eyes fail while I wait for 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 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs on my head; those who would cut me off, being my enemies for wrong reasons, are mighty; what I did not steal, I have to give back.
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 God, you know my foolishness, and my sins are not hidden from you.
O God you you know folly my and guilt my from you not they are hidden.
6 Let not those who hope in you be put to shame because of me, Lord Yahweh of hosts; let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor because of me, 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 your sake I have borne rebuke; shame has covered my face.
For on you I have borne reproach it has covered ignominy face my.
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien 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 rebukes of those who rebuke you have fallen on 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 When I wept and did not eat food, they insulted me.
And I wept with fasting self my and it became reproach to me.
11 When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became the object of a proverb to them.
And I made! clothing my sackcloth and I became for them a byword.
12 Those who sit in the city gate talk about me; I am a song of drunkards.
They speak in me [those who] sit of [the] gate and taunt songs of drinkers of strong drink.
13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, at a time that you will accept; answer me in the trustworthiness 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 Pull me out of the mire, and do not let me sink; let me be taken away from those who hate me and rescued out of 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 Do not let the floods of water overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Do not let the pit shut its mouth on 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 Answer me, Yahweh, for your covenant faithfulness is good; because your mercies for me are many, turn to me.

And may not you hide face your from servant your for it is distress to me hurry answer me.
18 Come to me and redeem me. Because of my enemies, ransom me.
Draw near! to self my redeem it on account of enemies my ransom me.
19 You know my rebuke, my shame, and my dishonor; my adversaries are all before you.
You you know reproach my and shame my and ignominy my [are] before you all opposers my.
20 Rebuke has broken my heart; I am full of heaviness; I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none; I looked for comforters, 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 poison for my food; in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
And they put in food my poison and for thirst my they gave to drink me vinegar.
22 Let their table before them become a snare; when they think they are in safety, let it become a trap.
May it become table their before them a trap and for allies a snare.
23 Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see; and always make their loins shake.
May they grow dim eyes their from seeing and loins their continually make to shake.
24 Pour out your indignation on them, and let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
Pour out on them indignation your and [the] burning of anger your may it overtake them.
25 Let their place be a desolation; let no one live in their tents.
May it be encampment their made desolate in tents their may not anyone be dwelling.
26 For they persecuted the one you struck down. They repeated the account of the pain of those you have wounded.
For you [those] whom you struck they have harassed and concerning [the] pain of fatally wounded [ones] your they have recounted.
27 Accuse them of having committed iniquity after iniquity; do not let them come into your righteous victory.
Put! iniquity to iniquity their and may not they come in righteousness your.
28 Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life and not be written down along with the righteous.
May they be wiped out from [the] scroll of life and with righteous [people] may not they be written down.
29 But I am poor and sorrowful; let your salvation, God, set me up on high.
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 will exalt him with thanksgiving.

31 That will please Yahweh better than an ox or a bull that has horns and hooves.

32 The meek have seen it and are glad; you who seek after God, let your hearts live.
They will see humble [people] they will rejoice O [you who] seek God and may it live heart your.
