Psalm 69 KJV

1. 69:1  Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
2. 69:2  I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3. 69:3  I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4. 69:4  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 restored that which I took not away.
5. 69:5  O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
6. 69:6  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. 69:7  Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
8. 69:8  I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
9. 69:9  For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
10. 69:10  When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11. 69:11  I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
12. 69:12  They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
13. 69:13  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. 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.
15. 69:15  Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16. 69:16  Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
17. 69:17  And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
18. 69:18  Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19. 69:19  Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20. 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.
21. 69:21  They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22. 69:22  Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23. 69:23  Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24. 69:24  Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25. 69:25  Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26. 69:26  For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
27. 69:27  Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28. 69:28  Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29. 69:29  But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30. 69:30  I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31. 69:31  This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32. 69:32  The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33. 69:33  For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34. 69:34  Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35. 69:35  For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36. 69:36  The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
