Psalm 69

To chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A [Psalm] of David. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:1} Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:2} I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am comeinto deep waters, where the floods overflow me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:3} I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:4} They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I took not away. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:5} O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:6} Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:7} Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:8} I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:9} For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:10} When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:11} I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:12} They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was] the song of the drunkards. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:13} But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in] an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:14} Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:15} Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:16} Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:17} And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:18} Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:19} Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:20} Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was] none; and for comforters, but I found none. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:21} They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:22} Let their table become a snare before them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:23} Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:24} Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:25} Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell in their tents. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:26} For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:27} Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:28} Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:29} But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:30} I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:31} [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:32} The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:33} For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:34} Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:35} For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 69:36} The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
