69:1 To the chief Musician 5329 8764 upon Shoshannim 7799, [A Psalm] of David 1732. Save 3467 8685 me, O God 430; for the waters 4325 are come 935 8804 in unto [my] soul 5315.

69:2 I sink 2883 8804 in deep 4688 mire 3121, where [there is] no standing 4613: I am come 935 8804 into deep 4615 waters 4325, where the floods 7641 overflow 7857 8804 me.(deep mire: Heb. the mire of depth)(deep waters: Heb. depth of waters)

69:3 I am weary 3021 8804 of my crying 7121 8800: my throat 1627 is dried 2787 8738: mine eyes 5869 fail 3615 8804 while I wait 3176 8764 for my God 430.

69:4 They that hate 8130 8802 me without a cause 2600 are more 7231 8804 than the hairs 8185 of mine head 7218: they that would destroy 6789 8688 me, [being] mine enemies 341 8802 wrongfully 8267, are mighty 6105 8804: then I restored 7725 8686 [that] which I took not away 1497 8804.

69:5 O God 430, thou knowest 3045 8804 my foolishness 200; and my sins 819 are not hid 3582 8738 from thee.(sins: Heb. guiltiness)

69:6 Let not them that wait 6960 8802 on thee, O Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts 6635, be ashamed 954 8799 for my sake: let not those that seek 1245 8764 thee be confounded 3637 8735 for my sake, O God 430 of Israel 3478.

69:7 Because for thy sake I have borne 5375 8804 reproach 2781; shame 3639 hath covered 3680 8765 my face 6440.

69:8 I am become a stranger 2114 8716 unto my brethren 251, and an alien 5237 unto my mother's 517 children 1121.

69:9 For the zeal 7068 of thine house 1004 hath eaten me up 398 8804; and the reproaches 2781 of them that reproached 2778 8802 thee are fallen 5307 8804 upon me.

69:10 When I wept 1058 8799, [and chastened] my soul 5315 with fasting 6685, that was to my reproach 2781.

69:11 I made 5414 8799 sackcloth 8242 also my garment 3830; and I became a proverb 4912 to them.

69:12 They that sit in 3427 8802 the gate 8179 speak 7878 8799 against me; and I [was] the song 5058 of the drunkards 8354 8802 7941.(drunkards: Heb. drinkers of strong drink)

69:13 But as for me, my prayer 8605 [is] unto thee, O LORD 3068, [in] an acceptable 7522 time 6256: O God 430, in the multitude 7230 of thy mercy 2617 hear 6030 8798 me, in the truth 571 of thy salvation 3468.

69:14 Deliver 5337 8685 me out of the mire 2916, and let me not sink 2883 8799: let me be delivered 5337 8735 from them that hate 8130 8802 me, and out of the deep 4615 waters 4325.

69:15 Let not the waterflood 4325 7641 overflow 7857 8799 me, neither let the deep 4688 swallow me up 1104 8799, and let not the pit 875 shut 332 8799 her mouth 6310 upon me.

69:16 Hear 6030 8798 me, O LORD 3068; for thy lovingkindness 2617 [is] good 2896: turn 6437 8798 unto me according to the multitude 7230 of thy tender mercies 7356.

69:17 And hide 5641 8686 not thy face 6440 from thy servant 5650; for I am in trouble 6887 8804: hear 6030 8798 me speedily 4118.(hear…: Heb. make haste to hear me)

69:18 Draw nigh 7126 8798 unto my soul 5315, [and] redeem 1350 8798 it: deliver 6299 8798 me because of mine enemies 341 8802.

69:19 Thou hast known 3045 8804 my reproach 2781, and my shame 1322, and my dishonour 3639: mine adversaries 6887 8802 [are] all before thee.

69:20 Reproach 2781 hath broken 7665 8804 my heart 3820; and I am full of heaviness 5136 8799: and I looked 6960 8762 [for some] to take pity 5110 8800, but [there was] none; and for comforters 5162 8764, but I found 4672 8804 none.(to take…: Heb. to lament with me)

69:21 They gave 5414 8799 me also gall 7219 for my meat 1267; and in my thirst 6772 they gave me vinegar 2558 to drink 8248 8686.

69:22 Let their table 7979 become a snare 6341 before 6440 them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare 7965, [let it become] a trap 4170.

69:23 Let their eyes 5869 be darkened 2821 8799, that they see 7200 8800 not; and make their loins 4975 continually 8548 to shake 4571 8685.

69:24 Pour out 8210 8798 thine indignation 2195 upon them, and let thy wrathful 2740 anger 639 take hold 5381 8686 of them.

69:25 Let their habitation 2918 be desolate 8074 8737; [and] let none dwell 3427 8802 in their tents 168.(their habitation: Heb. their palace)(let none…: Heb. let there not be a dweller)

69:26 For they persecute 7291 8804 [him] whom thou hast smitten 5221 8689; and they talk 5608 8762 to the grief 4341 of those whom thou hast wounded 2491.(those…: Heb. thy wounded)

69:27 Add 5414 8798 iniquity 5771 unto their iniquity 5771: and let them not come 935 8799 into thy righteousness 6666.(iniquity unto…: or, punishment of iniquity, etc)

69:28 Let them be blotted 4229 8735 out of the book 5612 of the living 2416, and not be written 3789 8735 with the righteous 6662.

69:29 But I [am] poor 6041 and sorrowful 3510 8802: let thy salvation 3444, O God 430, set me up on high 7682 8762.

69:30 I will praise 1984 8762 the name 8034 of God 430 with a song 7892, and will magnify 1431 8762 him with thanksgiving 8426.

69:31 [This] also shall please 3190 0 the LORD 3068 better 3190 8799 than an ox 7794 [or] bullock 6499 that hath horns 7160 8688 and hoofs 6536 8688.

69:32 The humble 6035 shall see 7200 8804 [this, and] be glad 8055 8799: and your heart 3824 shall live 2421 8799 that seek 1875 8802 God 430.(humble: or, meek)

69:33 For the LORD 3068 heareth 8085 8802 the poor 34, and despiseth 959 8804 not his prisoners 615.

69:34 Let the heaven 8064 and earth 776 praise 1984 8762 him, the seas 3220, and every thing that moveth 7430 8802 therein.(moveth: Heb. creepeth)

69:35 For God 430 will save 3467 8686 Zion 6726, and will build 1129 8799 the cities 5892 of Judah 3063: that they may dwell 3427 8804 there, and have it in possession 3423 8804.
