Psalm 69

1 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in to my soul.
Compare verse
2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
Compare verse
3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: my eyes fail while I wait for my God.
Compare verse
4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
Compare verse
5 O God, you know my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from you.
Compare verse
6 Let not them that wait on you, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek you be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
Compare verse
7 Because for your sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face.
Compare verse
8 I am become a stranger to my brothers, and an alien to my mother's children.
Compare verse
9 For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen on me.
Compare verse
10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
Compare verse
11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
Compare verse
12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
Compare verse
13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
15 Let not the flood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth on me.
Compare verse
16 Hear me, O LORD; for your loving kindness is good: turn to me according to the multitude of your tender mercies.
Compare verse
17 And hide not your face from your servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
Compare verse
18 Draw near to my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.
Compare verse
19 You have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: my adversaries are all before you.
Compare verse
20 Reproach has 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.
Compare verse
21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Compare verse
22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
Compare verse
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
Compare verse
24 Pour out your indignation on them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
Compare verse
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
Compare verse
26 For they persecute him whom you have smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom you have wounded.
Compare verse
27 Add iniquity to their iniquity: and let them not come into your righteousness.
Compare verse
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
Compare verse
29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let your salvation, O God, set me up on high.
Compare verse
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
Compare verse
31 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that has horns and hoofs.
Compare verse
32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
Compare verse
33 For the LORD hears the poor, and despises not his prisoners.
Compare verse
34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moves therein.
Compare verse
35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
Compare verse
36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
