Salmos 69

1 Save me, O God;

2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing:

3 I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried:

4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head:

5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness;

6 Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts:

7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach;

8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren,

9 For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up;

10 When I wept,

11 When I made sackcloth my clothing,

12 They that sit in the gate talk of me;

13 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time:

14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink:

15 Let not the waterflood overwhelm me,

16 Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good:

17 And hide not thy face from thy servant;

18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it:

19 Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor:

20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness:

21 They gave me also gall for my food;

22 Let their table before them become a snare;

23 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see;

24 Pour out thine indignation upon them,

25 Let their habitation be desolate;

26 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten;

27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity;

28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life,

29 But I am poor and sorrowful:

30 I will praise the name of God with a song,

31 And it will please Jehovah better than an ox,

32 The meek have seen it, and are glad:

33 For Jehovah heareth the needy,

34 Let heaven and earth praise him,

35 For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah;

36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it;
