Psalm 69

Good News Translation GNT

1 Save me, O God! The water is up to my neck;

2 I am sinking in deep mud, and there is no solid ground; I am out in deep water, and the waves are about to drown me.

3 I am worn out from calling for help, and my throat is aching. I have strained my eyes, looking for your help.

4 Those who hate me for no reason are more numerous than the hairs of my head. My enemies tell lies against me; they are strong and want to kill me. They made me give back things I did not steal.

5 My sins, O God, are not hidden from you; you know how foolish I have been.

6 Don't let me bring shame on those who trust in you, Sovereign Lord Almighty! Don't let me bring disgrace to those who worship you, O God of Israel!

7 It is for your sake that I have been insulted and that I am covered with shame.

8 I am like a stranger to my relatives, like a foreigner to my family.

9 My devotion to your Temple burns in me like a fire; the insults which are hurled at you fall on me.

10 I humble myself by fasting, and people insult me;

11 I dress myself in clothes of mourning, and they laugh at me.

12 They talk about me in the streets, and drunkards make up songs about me.

13 But as for me, I will pray to you, Lord; answer me, God, at a time you choose. Answer me because of your great love, because you keep your promise to save.

14 Save me from sinking in the mud; keep me safe from my enemies, safe from the deep water.

15 Don't let the flood come over me; don't let me drown in the depths or sink into the grave.

16 Answer me, Lord, in the goodness of your constant love; in your great compassion turn to me!

17 Don't hide yourself from your servant; I am in great trouble - answer me now!

18 Come to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.

19 You know how I am insulted, how I am disgraced and dishonored; you see all my enemies.

20 Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I had hoped for sympathy, but there was none; for comfort, but I found none.

21 When I was hungry, they gave me poison; when I was thirsty, they offered me vinegar.

22 May their banquets cause their ruin; may their sacred feasts cause their downfall.

23 Strike them with blindness! Make their backs always weak!

24 Pour out your anger on them; let your indignation overtake them.

25 May their camps be left deserted; may no one be left alive in their tents.

26 They persecute those whom you have punished; they talk about the sufferings of those you have wounded.

27 Keep a record of all their sins; don't let them have any part in your salvation.

28 May their names be erased from the book of the living; may they not be included in the list of your people.

29 But I am in pain and despair; lift me up, O God, and save me!

30 I will praise God with a song; I will proclaim his greatness by giving him thanks.

31 This will please the Lord more than offering him cattle, more than sacrificing a full-grown bull.

32 When the oppressed see this, they will be glad; those who worship God will be encouraged.

33 The Lord listens to those in need and does not forget his people in prison.

34 Praise God, O heaven and earth, seas and all creatures in them.

35 He will save Jerusalem and rebuild the towns of Judah. His people will live there and possess the land;

36 the descendants of his servants will inherit it, and those who love him will live there.

1 <<For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Lilies." By David.>> 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 put to shame through me, Lord Yahweh of Hosts. 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 lovingkindness, 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 lovingkindness 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 gall 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. Make their loins continually to shake.

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.
