069:001

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

069:002

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

069:003

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

069:004

O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee

069:005

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

069:006

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face

069:007

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children

069:008

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

069:009

When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach

069:010

I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them

069:011

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

069:012

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

069:013

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

069:014

Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me

069:015

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

069:016

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

069:017

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

069:018

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

069:019

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

069:020

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

069:021

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

069:022

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

069:023

Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them

069:024

Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents

069:025

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

069:026

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

069:027

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous

069:028

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

069:029

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving

069:030

This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs

069:031

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

069:032

For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners

069:033

Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein

069:034

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

069:035

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