\c 69
|
||
\d For the chief musician; set to Shoshannim. A psalm of David.
|
||
\b
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 1 Save me, God;
|
||
\q for the waters have put my life in danger.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no place to stand;
|
||
\q I have come into deep waters, where the floods flow over me.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 3 I am weary with my crying; my throat is dry;
|
||
\q my eyes fail while I wait for my God.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs on my head;
|
||
\q those who would cut me off, being my enemies for wrong reasons, are mighty;
|
||
\q what I did not steal, I have to give back.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 5 God, you know my foolishness,
|
||
\q and my sins are not hidden from you.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 6 Let not those who wait for you be put to shame because of me, Lord Yahweh of hosts;
|
||
\q let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor because of me, God of Israel.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 7 For your sake I have borne rebuke;
|
||
\q shame has covered my face.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 8 I have become a stranger to my brothers,
|
||
\q an alien to my mother’s children.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 9 For the zeal of your house has eaten me up,
|
||
\q and the rebukes of those who rebuke you have fallen on me.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 10 When I wept and did not eat food,
|
||
\q they insulted me.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 11 When I made sackcloth my clothing,
|
||
\q I became the object of a proverb to them.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 12 Those who sit in the city gate talk about me;
|
||
\q I am a song of drunkards.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, at a time that you will accept;
|
||
\q answer me in the trustworthiness of your salvation.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 14 Pull me out of the mire, and do not let me sink;
|
||
\q let me be taken away from those who hate me and rescued out of the deep waters.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 15 Do not let the floods of water overwhelm me,
|
||
\q neither let the deep swallow me up.
|
||
\q Do not let the pit shut its mouth on me.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 16 Answer me, Yahweh, for your covenant faithfulness is good;
|
||
\q because your mercies for me are many, turn to me.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 17 Do not hide your face from your servant,
|
||
\q for I am in distress; answer me quickly.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 18 Draw near to me and redeem me.
|
||
\q Because of my enemies, ransom me.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 19 You know my rebuke, my shame, and my dishonor;
|
||
\q my adversaries are all before you.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 20 Rebuke has broken my heart; I am full of heaviness;
|
||
\q I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none;
|
||
\q I looked for comforters, but I found none.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 21 They gave me poison for my food;
|
||
\q in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 22 Let their table before them become a snare;
|
||
\q when they think they are in safety, let it become a trap.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 23 Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see;
|
||
\q and always make their loins shake.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 24 Pour out your indignation on them,
|
||
\q and let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 25 Let their place be a desolation;
|
||
\q let no one live in their tents.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 26 For they persecute him whom you have smitten;
|
||
\q they report to others about the pain of those whom you have wounded.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 27 Accuse them of having committed iniquity after iniquity;
|
||
\q do not let them come into your righteous victory.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life
|
||
\q and not be written down along with the righteous.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 29 But I am poor and sorrowful;
|
||
\q let your salvation, God, set me up on high.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 30 I will praise the name of God with a song
|
||
\q and will exalt him with thanksgiving.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 31 That will please Yahweh better than an ox
|
||
\q or a bull that has horns and hooves.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 32 The meek have seen it and are glad;
|
||
\q you who seek after God, let your hearts live.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 33 For Yahweh hears the needy
|
||
\q and does not despise his prisoners.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 34 Let heaven and earth praise him,
|
||
\q the seas and everything that moves in them.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 35 For God will save Zion and will rebuild the cities of Judah;
|
||
\q the people will live there and have it as a possession.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 36 His servants’ descendants will inherit it;
|
||
\q and those who love his name will live there.
