Psalms 69:14-34

¹⁴Deliuer mee out of the myre, that I sinke not: let me be deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters.

¹⁵Let not the water flood drowne mee, neither let the deepe swallowe me vp: and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me.

¹⁶Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnes is good: turne vnto me according to ye multitude of thy tender mercies.

¹⁷And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: make haste and heare me.

¹⁸Draw neere vnto my soule and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies.

¹⁹Thou hast knowen my reproofe and my shame, and my dishonour: all mine aduersaries are before thee.

²⁰Rebuke hath broken mine heart, and I am full of heauinesse, and I looked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was none: and for comforters, but I found none.

²¹For they gaue me gall in my meate, and in my thirst they gaue me vineger to drinke.

²²Let their table be a snare before them, and their prosperitie their ruine.

²³Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and make their loynes alway to tremble.

²⁴Powre out thine anger vpon them, and let thy wrathfull displeasure take them.

²⁵Let their habitation be voide, and let none dwell in their tents.

²⁶For they persecute him, whome thou hast smitten: and they adde vnto the sorrowe of them, whome thou hast wounded.

²⁷Laie iniquitie vpon their iniquitie, and let them not come into thy righteousnesse.

²⁸Let them be put out of the booke of life, neither let them be written with the righteous.

²⁹When I am poore and in heauinesse, thine helpe, O God, shall exalt me.

³⁰I will praise the Name of God with a song, and magnifie him with thankesgiuing.

³¹This also shall please the Lord better then a yong bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes.

³²The humble shall see this, and they that seeke God, shalbe glad, and your heart shall liue.

³³For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners.

³⁴Let heauen and earth praise him: the seas and all that moueth in them.
