1(69) For the end, a Psalm of David, for alternate strains. Save me, O God; for the waters have come in to my soul.
2I am stuck fast in deep mire, and there is no standing: I am come in to the depths of the sea, and a storm has overwhelmed me.
3I am weary of crying, my throat has become hoarse; my eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.
4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: my enemies that persecute me unrighteously are strengthened: then I restored that which I took not away.
5O God, you know my foolishness; and my transgressions are not hidden from you.
6Let not them that wait on you, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek you, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.
7For I have suffered reproach for your sake; shame has covered my face.
8I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.
9For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.
10And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach.
11And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.
12They that sit in the gate talked against me, and they that drank wine sang against me.
13But I will cry to you, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation.
14Save me from the mire, that I stick not in it: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.
15Let not the waterflood drown me, nor let the deep swallow me up; neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.
16Hear me, O Lord; for your mercy is good: according to the multitude of your compassions look upon me.
17And turn not away your face from your servant; for I am afflicted: hear me speedily.
18Draw near to my soul and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.
19For you know my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before you.
20My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none.
21They gave me also gall for my food, and made me drink vinegar for my thirst.
22Let their table before them be for a snare, and for a recompense, and for a stumbling block.
23Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; and bow down their back continually.
24Pour out your wrath upon them, and let the fury of your anger take hold on them.
25Let their habitation be made desolate; and let there be no inhabitant in their tents:
26Because they persecuted him whom you have struck; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
27Add iniquity to their iniquity; and let them not come into your righteousness.
