Chapter 69
Psal NETfree 69:1  For the music director; according to the tune of "Lilies;" by David.Deliver me, O God, for the water has reached my neck.
Psal NETfree 69:2  I sink into the deep mire where there is no solid ground; I am in deep water, and the current overpowers me.
Psal NETfree 69:3  I am exhausted from shouting for help; my throat is sore; my eyes grow tired of looking for my God.
Psal NETfree 69:4  Those who hate me without cause are more numerous than the hairs of my head. Those who want to destroy me, my enemies for no reason, outnumber me. They make me repay what I did not steal!
Psal NETfree 69:5  O God, you are aware of my foolish sins; my guilt is not hidden from you.
Psal NETfree 69:6  Let none who rely on you be disgraced because of me, O sovereign LORD and king! Let none who seek you be ashamed because of me, O God of Israel!
Psal NETfree 69:7  For I suffer humiliation for your sake and am thoroughly disgraced.
Psal NETfree 69:8  My own brothers treat me like a stranger; they act as if I were a foreigner.
Psal NETfree 69:9  Certainly zeal for your house consumes me; I endure the insults of those who insult you.
Psal NETfree 69:10  I weep and refrain from eating food, which causes others to insult me.
Psal NETfree 69:12  Those who sit at the city gate gossip about me; drunkards mock me in their songs.
Psal NETfree 69:13  O LORD, may you hear my prayer and be favorably disposed to me! O God, because of your great loyal love, answer me with your faithful deliverance!
Psal NETfree 69:14  Rescue me from the mud! Don't let me sink! Deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep water!
Psal NETfree 69:15  Don't let the current overpower me! Don't let the deep swallow me up! Don't let the pit devour me!
Psal NETfree 69:16  Answer me, O LORD, for your loyal love is good! Because of your great compassion, turn toward me!
Psal NETfree 69:17  Do not ignore your servant, for I am in trouble! Answer me right away!
Psal NETfree 69:18  Come near me and redeem me! Because of my enemies, rescue me!
Psal NETfree 69:19  You know how I am insulted, humiliated and disgraced; you can see all my enemies.
Psal NETfree 69:20  Their insults are painful and make me lose heart; I look for sympathy, but receive none, for comforters, but find none.
Psal NETfree 69:21  They put bitter poison into my food, and to quench my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.
Psal NETfree 69:22  May their dining table become a trap before them! May it be a snare for that group of friends!
Psal NETfree 69:23  May their eyes be blinded! Make them shake violently!
Psal NETfree 69:24  Pour out your judgment on them! May your raging anger overtake them!
Psal NETfree 69:25  May their camp become desolate, their tents uninhabited!
Psal NETfree 69:26  For they harass the one whom you discipline; they spread the news about the suffering of those whom you punish.
Psal NETfree 69:27  Hold them accountable for all their sins! Do not vindicate them!
Psal NETfree 69:28  May their names be deleted from the scroll of the living! Do not let their names be listed with the godly!
Psal NETfree 69:29  I am oppressed and suffering! O God, deliver and protect me!
Psal NETfree 69:30  I will sing praises to God's name! I will magnify him as I give him thanks!
Psal NETfree 69:31  That will please the LORD more than an ox or a bull with horns and hooves.
Psal NETfree 69:32  The oppressed look on - let them rejoice! You who seek God, may you be encouraged!
Psal NETfree 69:33  For the LORD listens to the needy; he does not despise his captive people.
Psal NETfree 69:34  Let the heavens and the earth praise him, along with the seas and everything that swims in them!
Psal NETfree 69:35  For God will deliver Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah, and his people will again live in them and possess Zion.
Psal NETfree 69:36  The descendants of his servants will inherit it, and those who are loyal to him will live in it.
