Psalms 69:1-22

69:1

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)

upon Shoshannim
<07799>_,

[A Psalm] of David
<01732>.>>

Save
<03467> (8685)

me, O God
<0430>_;

for the waters
<04325>

are come
<0935> (8804)

in unto [my] soul
<05315>_.

69:2

I sink
<02883> (8804)

in deep
<04688>

mire
<03121>_,

where [there is] no standing
<04613>_:

I am come
<0935> (8804)

into deep
<04615>

waters
<04325>_,

where the floods
<07641>

overflow
<07857> (8804)

me. {deep mire: Heb. the mire of depth} {deep waters: Heb. depth of waters}

69:3

I am weary
<03021> (8804)

of my crying
<07121> (8800)_:

my throat
<01627>

is dried
<02787> (8738)_:

mine eyes
<05869>

fail
<03615> (8804)

while I wait
<03176> (8764)

for my God
<0430>_.

69:4

They that hate
<08130> (8802)

me without a cause
<02600>

are more
<07231> (8804)

than the hairs
<08185>

of mine head
<07218>_:

they that would destroy
<06789> (8688)

me, [being] mine enemies
<0341> (8802)

wrongfully
<08267>_,

are mighty
<06105> (8804)_:

then I restored
<07725> (8686)

[that] which I took not away
<01497> (8804)_.

69:5

O God
<0430>_,

thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

my foolishness
<0200>_;

and my sins
<0819>

are not hid
<03582> (8738)

from thee. {sins: Heb. guiltiness}

69:6

Let not them that wait
<06960> (8802)

on thee, O Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

of hosts
<06635>_,

be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

for my sake: let not those that seek
<01245> (8764)

thee be confounded
<03637> (8735)

for my sake, O God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

69:7

Because for thy sake I have borne
<05375> (8804)

reproach
<02781>_;

shame
<03639>

hath covered
<03680> (8765)

my face
<06440>_.

69:8

I am become a stranger
<02114> (8716)

unto my brethren
<0251>_,

and an alien
<05237>

unto my mother's
<0517>

children
<01121>_.

69:9

For the zeal
<07068>

of thine house
<01004>

hath eaten me up
<0398> (8804)_;

and the reproaches
<02781>

of them that reproached
<02778> (8802)

thee are fallen
<05307> (8804)

upon me.

69:10

When I wept
<01058> (8799)_,

[and chastened] my soul
<05315>

with fasting
<06685>_,

that was to my reproach
<02781>_.

69:11

I made
<05414> (8799)

sackcloth
<08242>

also my garment
<03830>_;

and I became a proverb
<04912>

to them.

69:12

They that sit in
<03427> (8802)

the gate
<08179>

speak
<07878> (8799)

against me; and I [was] the song
<05058>

of the drunkards
<08354> (8802) <07941>_.

{drunkards: Heb. drinkers of strong drink}

69:13

But as for me, my prayer
<08605>

[is] unto thee, O LORD
<03068>_,

[in] an acceptable
<07522>

time
<06256>_:

O God
<0430>_,

in the multitude
<07230>

of thy mercy
<02617>

hear
<06030> (8798)

me, in the truth
<0571>

of thy salvation
<03468>_.

69:14

Deliver
<05337> (8685)

me out of the mire
<02916>_,

and let me not sink
<02883> (8799)_:

let me be delivered
<05337> (8735)

from them that hate
<08130> (8802)

me, and out of the deep
<04615>

waters
<04325>_.

69:15

Let not the waterflood
<04325> <07641>

overflow
<07857> (8799)

me, neither let the deep
<04688>

swallow me up
<01104> (8799)_,

and let not the pit
<0875>

shut
<0332> (8799)

her mouth
<06310>

upon me.

69:16

Hear
<06030> (8798)

me, O LORD
<03068>_;

for thy lovingkindness
<02617>

[is] good
<02896>_:

turn
<06437> (8798)

unto me according to the multitude
<07230>

of thy tender mercies
<07356>_.

69:17

And hide
<05641> (8686)

not thy face
<06440>

from thy servant
<05650>_;

for I am in trouble
<06887> (8804)_:

hear
<06030> (8798)

me speedily
<04118>_.

{hear...: Heb. make haste to hear me}

69:18

Draw nigh
<07126> (8798)

unto my soul
<05315>_,

[and] redeem
<01350> (8798)

it: deliver
<06299> (8798)

me because of mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

69:19

Thou hast known
<03045> (8804)

my reproach
<02781>_,

and my shame
<01322>_,

and my dishonour
<03639>_:

mine adversaries
<06887> (8802)

[are] all before thee.

69:20

Reproach
<02781>

hath broken
<07665> (8804)

my heart
<03820>_;

and I am full of heaviness
<05136> (8799)_:

and I looked
<06960> (8762)

[for some] to take pity
<05110> (8800)_,

but [there was] none; and for comforters
<05162> (8764)_,

but I found
<04672> (8804)

none. {to take...: Heb. to lament with me}

69:21

They gave
<05414> (8799)

me also gall
<07219>

for my meat
<01267>_;

and in my thirst
<06772>

they gave me vinegar
<02558>

to drink
<08248> (8686)_.

69:22

Let their table
<07979>

become a snare
<06341>

before
<06440>

them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare
<07965>_,

[let it become] a trap
<04170>_.
