Psalm 69 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

A Try of Distress, and Imprecation on Adversaries.

Psa 69:1

For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. A Psalm of David.

Save me, O God;

For the waters are come in unto my soul.

Psa 69:2

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing:

I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

Psa 69:3

I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried:

Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

Psa 69:4

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head:

They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty:

That which I took not away I have to restore.

Psa 69:5

O God, thou knowest my foolishness;

And my sins are not hid from thee.

Psa 69:6

Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts:

Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.

Psa 69:7

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach;

Shame hath covered my face.

Psa 69:8

I am become a stranger unto my brethren,

And an alien unto my mother’s children.

Psa 69:9

For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up;

And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.

Psa 69:10

When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting,

That was to my reproach.

Psa 69:11

When I made sackcloth my clothing,

I became a byword unto them.

Psa 69:12

They that sit in the gate talk of me;

And I am the song of the drunkards.

Psa 69:13

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time:

O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness,

Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

Psa 69:14

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.

Psa 69:15

Let not the waterflood overwhelm me,

Neither let the deep swallow me up;

And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

Psa 69:16

Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good:

According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.

Psa 69:17

And hide not thy face from thy servant;

For I am in distress; answer me speedily.

Psa 69:18

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it:

Ransom me because of mine enemies.

Psa 69:19

Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor:

Mine adversaries are all before thee.

Psa 69:20

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness:

And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;

And for comforters, but I found none.

Psa 69:21

They gave me also gall for my food;

And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

Psa 69:22

Let their table before them become a snare;

And when they are in peace, let it become a trap.

Psa 69:23

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see;

And make their loins continually to shake.

Psa 69:24

Pour out thine indignation upon them,

And let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.

Psa 69:25

Let their habitation be desolate;

Let none dwell in their tents.

Psa 69:26

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten;

And they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.

Psa 69:27

Add iniquity unto their iniquity;

And let them not come into thy righteousness.

Psa 69:28

Let them be blotted out of the book of life,

And not be written with the righteous.

Psa 69:29

But I am poor and sorrowful:

Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

Psa 69:30

I will praise the name of God with a song,

And will magnify him with thanksgiving.

Psa 69:31

And it will please Jehovah better than an ox,

Or a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

Psa 69:32

The meek have seen it, and are glad:

Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.

Psa 69:33

For Jehovah heareth the needy,

And despiseth not his prisoners.

Psa 69:34

Let heaven and earth praise him,

The seas, and everything that moveth therein.

Psa 69:35

For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah;

And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.

Psa 69:36

The seed also of his servants shall inherit it;

And they that love his name shall dwell therein.
