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.

Psalm 69 (BYZ)

[1] [68:1] εις το τελος υπερ των αλλοιωθησομενων τω δαυιδ [68:2] σωσον με ο θεος οτι εισηλθοσαν υδατα εως ψυχης μου
[2] [68:3] ενεπαγην εις ιλυν βυθου και ουκ εστιν υποστασις ηλθον εις τα βαθη της θαλασσης και καταιγις κατεποντισεν με
[3] [68:4] εκοπιασα κραζων εβραγχιασεν ο λαρυγξ μου εξελιπον οι οφθαλμοι μου απο του ελπιζειν επι τον θεον μου
[4] [68:5] επληθυνθησαν υπερ τας τριχας της κεφαλης μου οι μισουντες με δωρεαν εκραταιωθησαν οι εχθροι μου οι εκδιωκοντες με αδικως α ουχ ηρπασα τοτε απετιννυον
[5] [68:6] ο θεος συ εγνως την αφροσυνην μου και αι πλημμελειαι μου απο σου ουκ εκρυβησαν
[6] [68:7] μη αισχυνθειησαν επ εμοι οι υπομενοντες σε κυριε κυριε των δυναμεων μη εντραπειησαν επ εμοι οι ζητουντες σε ο θεος του ισραηλ
[7] [68:8] οτι ενεκα σου υπηνεγκα ονειδισμον εκαλυψεν εντροπη το προσωπον μου
[8] [68:9] απηλλοτριωμενος εγενηθην τοις αδελφοις μου και ξενος τοις υιοις της μητρος μου
[9] [68:10] οτι ο ζηλος του οικου σου κατεφαγεν με και οι ονειδισμοι των ονειδιζοντων σε επεπεσαν επ εμε
[10] [68:11] και συνεκαμψα εν νηστεια την ψυχην μου και εγενηθη εις ονειδισμον εμοι
[11] [68:12] και εθεμην το ενδυμα μου σακκον και εγενομην αυτοις εις παραβολην
[12] [68:13] κατ εμου ηδολεσχουν οι καθημενοι εν πυλη και εις εμε εψαλλον οι πινοντες τον οινον
[13] [68:14] εγω δε τη προσευχη μου προς σε κυριε καιρος ευδοκιας ο θεος εν τω πληθει του ελεους σου επακουσον μου εν αληθεια της σωτηριας σου
[14] [68:15] σωσον με απο πηλου ινα μη εμπαγω ρυσθειην εκ των μισουντων με και εκ του βαθους των υδατων
[15] [68:16] μη με καταποντισατω καταιγις υδατος μηδε καταπιετω με βυθος μηδε συσχετω επ εμε φρεαρ το στομα αυτου
[16] [68:17] εισακουσον μου κυριε οτι χρηστον το ελεος σου κατα το πληθος των οικτιρμων σου επιβλεψον επ εμε
[17] [68:18] μη αποστρεψης το προσωπον σου απο του παιδος σου οτι θλιβομαι ταχυ επακουσον μου
[18] [68:19] προσχες τη ψυχη μου και λυτρωσαι αυτην ενεκα των εχθρων μου ρυσαι με
[19] [68:20] συ γαρ γινωσκεις τον ονειδισμον μου και την αισχυνην μου και την εντροπην μου εναντιον σου παντες οι θλιβοντες με
[20] [68:21] ονειδισμον προσεδοκησεν η ψυχη μου και ταλαιπωριαν και υπεμεινα συλλυπουμενον και ουχ υπηρξεν και παρακαλουντας και ουχ ευρον
[21] [68:22] και εδωκαν εις το βρωμα μου χολην και εις την διψαν μου εποτισαν με οξος
[22] [68:23] γενηθητω η τραπεζα αυτων ενωπιον αυτων εις παγιδα και εις ανταποδοσιν και εις σκανδαλον
[23] [68:24] σκοτισθητωσαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτων του μη βλεπειν και τον νωτον αυτων δια παντος συγκαμψον
[24] [68:25] εκχεον επ αυτους την οργην σου και ο θυμος της οργης σου καταλαβοι αυτους
[25] [68:26] γενηθητω η επαυλις αυτων ηρημωμενη και εν τοις σκηνωμασιν αυτων μη εστω ο κατοικων
[26] [68:27] οτι ον συ επαταξας αυτοι κατεδιωξαν και επι το αλγος των τραυματιων σου προσεθηκαν
[27] [68:28] προσθες ανομιαν επι την ανομιαν αυτων και μη εισελθετωσαν εν δικαιοσυνη σου
[28] [68:29] εξαλειφθητωσαν εκ βιβλου ζωντων και μετα δικαιων μη γραφητωσαν
[29] [68:30] πτωχος και αλγων ειμι εγω και η σωτηρια του προσωπου σου ο θεος αντελαβετο μου
[30] [68:31] αινεσω το ονομα του θεου μετ ωδης μεγαλυνω αυτον εν αινεσει
[31] [68:32] και αρεσει τω θεω υπερ μοσχον νεον κερατα εκφεροντα και οπλας
[32] [68:33] ιδετωσαν πτωχοι και ευφρανθητωσαν εκζητησατε τον θεον και ζησεται η ψυχη υμων
[33] [68:34] οτι εισηκουσεν των πενητων ο κυριος και τους πεπεδημενους αυτου ουκ εξουδενωσεν
[34] [68:35] αινεσατωσαν αυτον οι ουρανοι και η γη θαλασσα και παντα τα ερποντα εν αυτοις
[35] [68:36] οτι ο θεος σωσει την σιων και οικοδομηθησονται αι πολεις της ιουδαιας και κατοικησουσιν εκει και κληρονομησουσιν αυτην
[36] [68:37] και το σπερμα των δουλων αυτου καθεξουσιν αυτην και οι αγαπωντες το ονομα αυτου κατασκηνωσουσιν εν αυτη
