(Psa 69:1) Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto {my} soul.
(Psa 69:2) I sink in deep mire, where {there is} no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
(Psa 69:3) I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
(Psa 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.
(Psa 69:5) O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
(Psa 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.
(Psa 69:7) Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
(Psa 69:8) I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
(Psa 69:9) For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
(Psa 69:10) When I wept, {and chastened} my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
(Psa 69:11) I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
(Psa 69:12) They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I {was} the song of the drunkards.
(Psa 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.
(Psa 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.
(Psa 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.
(Psa 69:16) Hear me, O Lord; for thy lovingkindness {is} good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
(Psa 69:17) And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
(Psa 69:18) Draw nigh unto my soul, {and} redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
(Psa 69:19) Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries {are} all before thee.
(Psa 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.
(Psa 69:21) They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
(Psa 69:22) Let their table become a snare before them: and {that which should have been} for {their} welfare, {let it become} a trap.
(Psa 69:23) Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
(Psa 69:24) Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
(Psa 69:25) Let their habitation be desolate; {and} let none dwell in their tents.
(Psa 69:26) For they persecute {him} whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
(Psa 69:27) Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
(Psa 69:28) Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
(Psa 69:29) But I {am} poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
(Psa 69:30) I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
(Psa 69:31) {This} also shall please the Lord better than an ox {or} bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
(Psa 69:32) The humble shall see {this, and} be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
(Psa 69:33) For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
(Psa 69:34) Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
(Psa 69:35) For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
(Psa 69:36) The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
