Psalm 69
To the Chief Musician. Set to "The
Lilies."
A Psalm of David
- Save
me, O God!
For the waters have come up to my neck. (Ps. 42:7)
- I sink in deep mire, (Ps. 40:2)
where there is no standing; I have come into deep waters, where the
floods overflow me. (Job 22:11)
- I am weary with my crying; my
throat is dry; my eyes fail while I wait for my God. (Ps. 6:6; Ps. 119:82)
- Those who hate me without a cause
are more than the hairs of my head; they are mighty who would destroy
me, being my enemies wrongfully; though I have stolen nothing,
(John 15:25)
I still must restore it. (Ps. 35:19)
- O God, You know my foolishness;
and my sins are not hidden from You.
- Let not those who wait for You, O
Lord God of hosts, be ashamed because of me; let not those who seek You
be confounded because of me, O God of Israel.
- Because for Your sake I have borne
reproach; shame has covered my face. (Rom. 15:3)
- I have become a stranger to my
brothers, (Job 19:13; Is. 53:3; Mark 3:21; John 7:5)
and an alien to my mother's children;
- Because zeal for Your house has
eaten me
up, (John
2:17) and the reproaches
of those who reproach You have fallen on me. (Rom. 15:3)
- When I wept and chastened my soul
with fasting, that became my reproach.
- I also made sackcloth my garment;
I became a byword to them.
- Those who sit in the gate speak
against me, and I am the song of the drunkards.
- But as for me, my prayer is to
You,
O Lord, in the acceptable time;
O God, in the multitude of Your
mercy,
Hear me in the truth of Your salvation.
- Deliver me out of the mire, and
let me not sink; let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of
the deep waters. (Ps. 40:2)
- Let not the floodwater overflow
me, nor let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth
on me.
- Hear me, O Lord, for Your
loving-kindness is good; turn to me according to the multitude of Your
tender mercies. (Ps. 25:16)
- And do not hide Your face from
Your servant, for I am in trouble; hear me speedily. (Ps. 27:9; Ps. 102:2)
- Draw near to my soul, and redeem
it; deliver me because of my enemies.
- You know my reproach, my shame,
and my dishonour; my adversaries are all before You. (Ps. 22:6&7)
- Reproach has broken my heart, and
I am full of heaviness; I look for someone to take pity, but there was
none; (Is. 63:5) and for
comforters, but I found none. (Job 16:2)
- They also gave me gall for my
food, (Matt. 27:34; Matt. 27:48) and
for my thirst
they gave me vinegar to drink. (John 19:29)
- Let their table become a snare
before them, and their well-being a trap.
- Let their eyes be darkened, so
that they do not see; and make their
loins shake continually. (Is. 6:9&10)
- Pour out Your indignation upon
them,
(1 Thess. 2:16) and
let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
- Let their habitation be desolate;
let no one dwell in their tents. (Matt. 23:38; Acts 1:20)
- For they persecute him whom You
have struck, and talk of the grief of those You have wounded. (Job 19:22)
- Add iniquity to their
iniquity, (Rom. 1:28) and let
them not come into Your righteousness. (Is. 26:10)
- Let them be blotted out of the book
of the living, and not be written with the righteous. (Ex. 32:32; Ezek. 13:9)
- But I am poor and sorrowful; let
Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.
- I will praise the name of God with
a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. (Ps. 28:7)
- This also shall please the Lord
better than an ox or bull, which has horns and hooves. (Ps. 50:9; Ps. 50:13&14; Ps. 50:23; Ps. 51:16)
- The humble shall see this and be
glad; (Ps.
34:2) and you who seek God, your hearts shall live.
- For the Lord hears the poor, and
does not despise His prisoners. (Eph. 3:1)
- Let heaven and earth praise Him,
(Ps. 96:11; Is. 44:23)
the seas and everything that moves in them. (Is. 55:12)
- For God will save Zion and build
the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it. (Is. 44:26)
- Also, the descendants of His
servants shall inherit it, (Ps. 102:28) and those who love
His name shall dwell in
it.
