Psalm 69:1-36 NASB

[1] Save me, God, For the waters have threatened my life. [2] I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me. [3] I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; My eyes fail while I wait for my God. [4] Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, those who oppose me with lies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore. [5] God, You know my foolishness, And my guilt is not hidden from You. [6] May those who wait for You not be ashamed because of me, Lord God of armies; May those who seek You not be dishonored because of me, God of Israel, [7] Because for Your sake I have endured disgrace; Dishonor has covered my face. [8] I have become estranged from my brothers, And a stranger to my mother’s sons. [9] For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the taunts of those who taunt You have fallen on me. [10] When I wept in my soul with fasting, It became my disgrace. [11] When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a proverb to them. [12] Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And songs of mockery by those habitually drunk are about me. [13] But as for me, my prayer is to You, Lord, at an acceptable time; God, in the greatness of Your mercy, Answer me with Your saving truth. [14] Rescue me from the mud and do not let me sink; May I be rescued from those who hate me, and from the depths of water. [15] May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit close its mouth on me. [16] Answer me, Lord, for Your mercy is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me, [17] And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress; answer me quickly. [18] Come near to my soul and redeem it; Ransom me because of my enemies! [19] You know my disgrace, my shame, and my dishonor; All my enemies are known to You. [20] Disgrace has broken my heart, and I am so sick. And I waited for sympathy, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none. [21] They also gave me a bitter herb in my food, And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. [22] May their table before them become a snare; And when they are at peace, may it become a trap. [23] May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see, And make their hips shake continually. [24] Pour out Your indignation on them, And may Your burning anger overtake them. [25] May their camp be desolated; May there be none living in their tents. [26] For they have persecuted him whom You Yourself struck, And they tell of the pain of those whom You have wounded. [27] Add guilt to their guilt, And may they not come into Your righteousness. [28] May they be wiped out of the book of life, And may they not be recorded with the righteous. [29] But I am afflicted and in pain; May Your salvation, God, set me safely on high. [30] I will praise the name of God with song, And exalt Him with thanksgiving. [31] And it will please the Lord better than an ox Or bull with horns and hoofs. [32] The humble have seen it and are glad; You who seek God, let your heart revive. [33] For the Lord hears the needy, And does not despise those of His who are prisoners. [34] Heaven and earth shall praise Him, The seas and everything that moves in them. [35] For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, So that they may live there and possess it. [36] The descendants of His servants will inherit it, And those who love His name will live in it.
