Psalms 69

New International Version NIV

1 Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck.

2 I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold. I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me.

3 I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

4 Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal.

5 You, God, know my folly; my guilt is not hidden from you.

6 Lord, the LORD Almighty, may those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me; God of Israel, may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me.

7 For I endure scorn for your sake, and shame covers my face.

8 I am a foreigner to my own family, a stranger to my own mother’s children;

9 for zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.

10 When I weep and fast, I must endure scorn;

11 when I put on sackcloth, people make sport of me.

12 Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of the drunkards.

13 But I pray to you, LORD, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation.

14 Rescue me from the mire, do not let me sink; deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep waters.

15 Do not let the floodwaters engulf me or the depths swallow me up or the pit close its mouth over me.

16 Answer me, LORD, out of the goodness of your love; in your great mercy turn to me.

17 Do not hide your face from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.

18 Come near and rescue me; deliver me because of my foes.

19 You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed; all my enemies are before you.

20 Scorn has broken my heart and has left me helpless; I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found none.

21 They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst.

22 May the table set before them become a snare; may it become retribution and a trap.

23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.

24 Pour out your wrath on them; let your fierce anger overtake them.

25 May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.

26 For they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of those you hurt.

27 Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation.

28 May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.

29 But as for me, afflicted and in pain— may your salvation, God, protect me.

30 I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.

31 This will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hooves.

32 The poor will see and be glad— you who seek God, may your hearts live!

33 The LORD hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.

34 Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them,

35 for God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah. Then people will settle there and possess it;

36 the children of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name will dwell there.

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (68-1) <Unto the end, for them that shall be changed; for David.> (68-2) Save me, O God: for the waters are come in even unto my soul.

2 (68-3) I stick fast in the mire of the deep and there is no sure standing. I am come into the depth of the sea, and a tempest hath overwhelmed me.

3 (68-4) I have laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse, my eyes have failed, whilst I hope in my God.

4 (68-5) They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, who hate me without cause. My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: then did I pay that which I took not away.

5 (68-6) O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my offences are not hidden from thee:

6 (68-7) Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, the Lord of hosts. Let them not be confounded on my account, who seek thee, O God of Israel.

7 (68-8) Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

8 (68-9) I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.

9 (68-10) For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

10 (68-11) And I covered my soul in fasting: and it was made a reproach to me.

11 (68-12) And I made haircloth my garment: and I became a byword to them.

12 (68-13) They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that drank wine made me their song.

13 (68-14) But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; for the time of thy good pleasure, O God. In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

14 (68-15) Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

15 (68-16) Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep water swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

16 (68-17) Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

17 (68-18) And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.

18 (68-19) Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my enemies.

19 (68-20) Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.

20 (68-21) In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.

21 (68-22) And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

22 (68-23) Let their table become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.

23 (68-24) Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and their back bend thou down always.

24 (68-25) Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

25 (68-26) Let their habitation be made desolate: and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles.

26 (68-27) Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.

27 (68-28) Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: and let them not come into thy justice.

28 (68-29) Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; and with the just let them not be written.

29 (68-30) But I am poor and sorrowful: thy salvation, O God, hath set me up.

30 (68-31) I will praise the name of God with a canticle: and I will magnify him with praise.

31 (68-32) And it shall please God better than a young calf, that bringeth forth horns and hoofs.

32 (68-33) Let the poor see and rejoice: seek ye God, and your soul shall live.

33 (68-34) For the Lord hath heard the poor: and hath not despised his prisoners.

34 (68-35) Let the heavens and the earth praise him; the sea, and every thing that creepeth therein.

35 (68-36) For God will save Sion, and the cities of Juda shall be built up. And they shall dwell there, and acquire it by inheritance.

36 (68-37) And the seed of his servants shall possess it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
