# ***PSALMS 69***

*Save Me, O God*

To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. Of David.

\[1\] Save me, O 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,

and the flood sweeps over me.

\[3\] I am weary with my crying out;

my throat is parched.

My eyes grow dim

with waiting for my God.

\[4\] More in number than the hairs of my head

are those who hate me without cause;

mighty are those who would destroy me,

those who attack me with lies.

What I did not steal

must I now restore?

\[5\] O God, you know my folly;

the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.

\[6\] Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me,

O Lord GOD of hosts;

let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me,

O God of Israel.

\[7\] For it is for your sake that I have borne reproach,

that dishonor has covered my face.

\[8\] I have become a stranger to my brothers,

an alien to my mother’s sons.

\[9\] For zeal for your house has consumed me,

and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.

\[10\] When I wept and humbled my soul with fasting,

it became my reproach.

\[11\] When I made sackcloth my clothing,

I became a byword to them.

\[12\] I am the talk of those who sit in the gate,

and the drunkards make songs about me.

\[13\] But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD.

At an acceptable time, O God,

in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.

\[14\] Deliver me

from sinking in the mire;

let me be delivered from my enemies

and from the deep waters.

\[15\] Let not the flood sweep over me,

or the deep swallow me up,

or the pit close its mouth over me.

\[16\] Answer me, O LORD, for your steadfast love is good;

according to your abundant mercy, turn to me.

\[17\] Hide not your face from your servant,

for I am in distress; make haste to answer me.

\[18\] Draw near to my soul, redeem me;

ransom me because of my enemies!

\[19\] You know my reproach,

and my shame and my dishonor;

my foes are all known to you.

\[20\] Reproaches have broken my heart,

so that I am in despair.

I looked for pity, but there was none,

and for comforters, but I found none.

\[21\] They gave me poison for food,

and for my thirst they gave me sour wine to drink.

\[22\] Let their own table before them become a snare;

and when they are at peace, let it become a trap.

\[23\] Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see,

and make their loins tremble continually.

\[24\] Pour out your indignation upon them,

and let your burning anger overtake them.

\[25\] May their camp be a desolation;

let no one dwell in their tents.

\[26\] For they persecute him whom you have struck down,

and they recount the pain of those you have wounded.

\[27\] Add to them punishment upon punishment;

may they have no acquittal from you.

\[28\] Let them be blotted out of the book of the living;

let them not be enrolled among the righteous.

\[29\] But I am afflicted and in pain;

let your salvation, O God, set me on high!

\[30\] I will praise the name of God with a song;

I will magnify him with thanksgiving.

\[31\] This will please the LORD more than an ox

or a bull with horns and hoofs.

\[32\] When the humble see it they will be glad;

you who seek God, let your hearts revive.

\[33\] For the LORD hears the needy

and does not despise his own people who are prisoners.

\[34\] Let heaven and earth praise him,

the seas and everything that moves in them.

\[35\] For God will save Zion

and build up the cities of Judah,

and people shall dwell there and possess it;

\[36\] the offspring of his servants shall inherit it,

and those who love his name shall dwell in it. (ESV)
