DRC, VulgClementine, KJV - Psalms - 69

69:1  Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him.

69:1  In finem. Psalmus David in rememorationem, quod salvum fecerit eum Dominus.

69:1  Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

69:2  O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.

69:2  Deus, in adjutorium meum intende ; Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina.

69:2  I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

69:3  Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

69:3  Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam.

69:3  I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

69:4  Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: 'Tis well, 'tis well.

69:4  Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala ; avertantur statim erubescentes qui dicunt mihi : Euge, euge !

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.

69:5  Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.

69:5  Exsultent et lætentur in te omnes qui quærunt te ; et dicant semper : Magnificetur Dominus, qui diligunt salutare tuum.

69:5  O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

69:6  But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.

69:6  Ego vero egenus et pauper sum ; Deus, adjuva me. Adjutor meus et liberator meus es tu ; Domine, ne moreris.

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.

69:7  Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

69:8  I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.

69:9  For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

69:10  When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

69:11  I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.

69:12  They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

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.

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.

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.

69:16  Hear me, O Lord; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

69:17  And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

69:18  Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

69:19  Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

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.

69:21  They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

69:22  Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

69:23  Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

69:24  Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

69:25  Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.

69:26  For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

69:27  Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.

69:28  Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

69:29  But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

69:30  I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

69:31  This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

69:32  The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

69:33  For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

69:34  Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

69:35  For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

69:36  The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
