Psalm 69 (WEBP)

[1] Save me, God, for the waters have come up to my neck!
[2] I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
[3] I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my God.
[4] Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.
[5] God, you know my foolishness. My sins aren’t hidden from you.
[6] Don’t let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord Yahweh of Armies. Don’t let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, God of Israel.
[7] Because for your sake, I have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face.
[8] I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s children.
[9] For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
[10] When I wept and I fasted, that was to my reproach.
[11] When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
[12] Those who sit in the gate talk about me. I am the song of the drunkards.
[13] But as for me, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.
[14] Deliver me out of the mire, and don’t let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.
[15] Don’t let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Don’t let the pit shut its mouth on me.
[16] Answer me, Yahweh, for your loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me.
[17] Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!
[18] Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.
[19] You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before you.
[20] Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; for comforters, but I found none.
[21] They also gave me poison for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
[22] Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap.
[23] Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see. Let their backs be continually bent.
[24] Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
[25] Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents.
[26] For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.
[27] Charge them with crime upon crime. Don’t let them come into your righteousness.
[28] Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.
[29] But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me.
[30] I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
[31] It will please Yahweh better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hoofs.
[32] The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.
[33] For Yahweh hears the needy, and doesn’t despise his captive people.
[34] Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves therein!
[35] For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. They shall settle there, and own it.
[36] The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein.

King James w/Strong’s #s

Psalm 69 (KJVS)

[1] Save me, O God; For the waters are come in unto my soul.
[2] I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
[3] I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
[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.
[5] O God, thou knowest my foolishness; And my sins are not hid from thee.
[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.
[7] Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face.
[8] I am become a stranger unto my brethren, And an alien unto my mother’s children.
[9] For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
[10] When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach.
[11] I made sackcloth also my garment; And I became a proverb to them.
[12] They that sit in the gate speak against me; And I was the song of the drunkards.
[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.
[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.
[15] Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, And let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
[16] Hear me, O Lord; for thy lovingkindness is good: Turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
[17] And hide not thy face from thy servant; For I am in trouble: Hear me speedily.
[18] Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: Deliver me because of mine enemies.
[19] Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: Mine adversaries are all before thee.
[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.
[21] They gave me also gall for my meat; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
[22] Let their table become a snare before them: And that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
[23] Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; And make their loins continually to shake.
[24] Pour out thine indignation upon them, And let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
[25] Let their habitation be desolate; And let none dwell in their tents.
[26] For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; And they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
[27] Add iniquity unto their iniquity: And let them not come into thy righteousness.
[28] Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, And not be written with the righteous.
[29] But I am poor and sorrowful: Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
[30] I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving.
[31] This also shall please the Lord Better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
[32] The humble shall see this, and be glad: And your heart shall live that seek God.
[33] For the Lord heareth the poor, And despiseth not his prisoners.
[34] Let the heaven and earth praise him, The seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
[35] For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: That they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
[36] The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: And they that love his name shall dwell therein.
