New American Standard Bible

  • Psalm 69a

    For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David.

    Save me, O God,
    for the waters have come up to my neck.
  • Save me, O God,
    For the waters have threatened my life.
  • I sink in the miry depths,
    where there is no foothold.
    I have come into the deep waters;
    the floods engulf me.
  • I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold;
    I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me.
  • I am worn out calling for help;
    my throat is parched.
    My eyes fail,
    looking for my God.
  • I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched;
    My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
  • Those who hate me without reason
    outnumber the hairs of my head;
    many are my enemies without cause,
    those who seek to destroy me.
    I am forced to restore
    what I did not steal.
  • Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head;
    Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies;
    What I did not steal, I then have to restore.
  • You, God, know my folly;
    my guilt is not hidden from you.
  • O God, it is You who knows my folly,
    And my wrongs are not hidden from You.
  • Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    may those who hope in you
    not be disgraced because of me;
    God of Israel,
    may those who seek you
    not be put to shame because of me.
  • May those who wait for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts;
    May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel,
  • For I endure scorn for your sake,
    and shame covers my face.
  • Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
    Dishonor has covered my face.
  • I am a foreigner to my own family,
    a stranger to my own mother’s children;
  • I have become estranged from my brothers
    And an alien to my mother’s sons.
  • for zeal for your house consumes me,
    and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.
  • For zeal for Your house has consumed me,
    And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
  • When I weep and fast,
    I must endure scorn;
  • When I wept in my soul with fasting,
    It became my reproach.
  • when I put on sackcloth,
    people make sport of me.
  • When I made sackcloth my clothing,
    I became a byword to them.
  • Those who sit at the gate mock me,
    and I am the song of the drunkards.
  • Those who sit in the gate talk about me,
    And I am the song of the drunkards.
  • But I pray to you, Lord,
    in the time of your favor;
    in your great love, O God,
    answer me with your sure salvation.
  • But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD, at an acceptable time;
    O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness,
    Answer me with Your saving truth.
  • Rescue me from the mire,
    do not let me sink;
    deliver me from those who hate me,
    from the deep waters.
  • Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink;
    May I be delivered from my foes and from the deep waters.
  • Do not let the floodwaters engulf me
    or the depths swallow me up
    or the pit close its mouth over me.
  • May the flood of water not overflow me
    Nor the deep swallow me up,
    Nor the pit shut its mouth on me.
  • Answer me, Lord, out of the goodness of your love;
    in your great mercy turn to me.
  • Answer me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is good;
    According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me,
  • Do not hide your face from your servant;
    answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.
  • And do not hide Your face from Your servant,
    For I am in distress; answer me quickly.
  • Come near and rescue me;
    deliver me because of my foes.
  • Oh draw near to my soul and redeem it;
    Ransom me because of my enemies!
  • You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed;
    all my enemies are before you.
  • You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor;
    All my adversaries are before You.
  • Scorn has broken my heart
    and has left me helpless;
    I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
    for comforters, but I found none.
  • Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick.
    And I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
    And for comforters, but I found none.
  • They put gall in my food
    and gave me vinegar for my thirst.
  • They also gave me gall for my food
    And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
  • May the table set before them become a snare;
    may it become retribution andb a trap.
  • May their table before them become a snare;
    And when they are in peace, may it become a trap.
  • May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
    and their backs be bent forever.
  • May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see,
    And make their loins shake continually.
  • Pour out your wrath on them;
    let your fierce anger overtake them.
  • Pour out Your indignation on them,
    And may Your burning anger overtake them.
  • May their place be deserted;
    let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
  • May their camp be desolate;
    May none dwell in their tents.
  • For they persecute those you wound
    and talk about the pain of those you hurt.
  • For they have persecuted him whom You Yourself have smitten,
    And they tell of the pain of those whom You have wounded.
  • Charge them with crime upon crime;
    do not let them share in your salvation.
  • Add iniquity to their iniquity,
    And may they not come into Your righteousness.
  • May they be blotted out of the book of life
    and not be listed with the righteous.
  • May they be blotted out of the book of life
    And may they not be recorded with the righteous.
  • But as for me, afflicted and in pain —
    may your salvation, God, protect me.
  • But I am afflicted and in pain;
    May Your salvation, O God, set me securely on high.
  • I will praise God’s name in song
    and glorify him with thanksgiving.
  • I will praise the name of God with song
    And magnify Him with thanksgiving.
  • This will please the Lord more than an ox,
    more than a bull with its horns and hooves.
  • And it will please the LORD better than an ox
    Or a young bull with horns and hoofs.
  • The poor will see and be glad —
    you who seek God, may your hearts live!
  • The humble have seen it and are glad;
    You who seek God, let your heart revive.
  • The Lord hears the needy
    and does not despise his captive people.
  • For the LORD hears the needy
    And does not despise His who are prisoners.
  • Let heaven and earth praise him,
    the seas and all that move in them,
  • Let heaven and earth praise Him,
    The seas and everything that moves in them.
  • for God will save Zion
    and rebuild the cities of Judah.
    Then people will settle there and possess it;
  • For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah,
    That they may dwell there and possess it.
  • the children of his servants will inherit it,
    and those who love his name will dwell there.
  • The descendants of His servants will inherit it,
    And those who love His name will dwell in it.
