Psalms 69

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 <<To the chief musician: Upon Shoshannim. A Psalm of David.>> Save me, O God, for the waters have come in unto my soul.

2 I sink into deep mire where there is no standing; I have come into deep waters where the floods overflow me.

3 I am weary of my crying, my throat is dry; mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

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 was made to restore that which I took not away.

5 O God, Thou knowest my foolishness, and my sins are not hid from Thee.

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,

7 because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

8 I have become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.

9 For the zeal for Thine house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproached Thee have fallen upon me.

10 When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting, that was turned to my reproach.

11 I also made sackcloth my garment, and I became a proverb to them.

12 They that sit at the gate speak against me, and I have become the song of the drunkards.

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.

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.

15 Let not the floodwater overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

16 Hear me, O LORD, for Thy lovingkindness is good; turn unto me according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies.

17 And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, for I am in trouble; hear me speedily.

18 Draw nigh unto my soul and redeem it; deliver me because of mine enemies.

19 Thou hast known my reproach and my shame and my dishonor; mine adversaries are all before Thee.

20 Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness; I looked for some to take pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none.

21 They gave me also gall for my meat, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

22 Let their table become a snare before them, and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

24 Pour out Thine indignation upon them, and let Thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

25 Let their habitation be desolate, and let none dwell in their tents.

26 For they persecute him whom Thou hast smitten, and they talk of the grief of those whom Thou hast wounded.

27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity, and let them not come into Thy righteousness.

28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

29 But I am poor and sorrowful; let Thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

31 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

32 The humble shall see this and be glad, and your heart shall live, that seek God.

33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not His prisoners.

34 Let the heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and every thing that moveth therein.

35 For God will save Zion and will build the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it.

36 The seed also of His servants shall inherit it, and them that love His name shall dwell therein.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

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

2 I am sinking in deep mud. There is nothing to stand on. I am in deep water. A flood is sweeping me away.

3 I am exhausted from crying for help. My throat is hoarse. My eyes are strained [from] looking for my God.

4 Those who hate me for no reason outnumber the hairs on my head. Those who want to destroy me are mighty. They have no reason to be my enemies. I am forced to pay back what I did not steal.

5 O God, you know my stupidity, and the things of which I am guilty are not hidden from you.

6 Do not let those who wait with hope for you be put to shame because of me, O Almighty LORD of Armies. Do not let those who come to you for help be humiliated because of me, O God of Israel.

7 Indeed, for your sake I have endured insults. Humiliation has covered my face.

8 I have become a stranger to my [own] brothers, a foreigner to my mother's sons.

9 Indeed, devotion for your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.

10 I cried and fasted, but I was insulted for it.

11 I dressed myself in sackcloth, but I became the object of ridicule.

12 Those who sit at the gate gossip about me, and drunkards make up songs about me.

13 May my prayer come to you at an acceptable time, O LORD. O God, out of the greatness of your mercy, answer me with the truth of your salvation.

14 Rescue me from the mud. Do not let me sink [into it]. I want to be rescued from those who hate me and from the deep water.

15 Do not let floodwaters sweep me away. Do not let the ocean swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me.

16 Answer me, O LORD, because your mercy is good. Out of your unlimited compassion, turn to me.

17 I am in trouble, so do not hide your face from me. Answer me quickly!

18 Come close, and defend my soul. Set me free because of my enemies.

19 You know that I have been insulted, put to shame, and humiliated. All my opponents are in front of you.

20 Insults have broken my heart, and I am sick. I looked for sympathy, but there was none. I looked for people to comfort me, but I found no one.

21 They poisoned my food, and when I was thirsty, they gave me vinegar to drink.

22 Let the table set for them become a trap and a snare for their friends.

23 Let their vision become clouded so that they cannot see. Let their thighs continually shake.

24 Pour your rage on them. Let your burning anger catch up with them.

25 Let their camp be deserted and their tents empty.

26 They persecute the one you have struck, and they talk about the pain of those you have wounded.

27 Charge them with one crime after another. Do not let them be found innocent.

28 Let their [names] be erased from the Book of Life. Do not let them be listed with righteous people.

29 I am suffering and in pain. Let your saving power protect me, O God.

30 I want to praise the name of God with a song. I want to praise its greatness with a song of thanksgiving.

31 This will please the LORD more than [sacrificing] an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs.

32 Oppressed people will see [this] and rejoice. May the hearts of those who look to God for help be refreshed.

33 The LORD listens to needy people. He does not despise his own who are in prison.

34 Let heaven and earth, the seas, and everything that moves in them, praise him.

35 When God saves Zion, he will rebuild the cities of Judah. His servants will live there and take possession of it.

36 The descendants of his servants will inherit it. Those who love him will live there.
