Book 19 : PSALMS - Chapter 069
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
