69:1   Save me, O God! The water is up to my neck;

69:2   I am sinking in deep mud, and there is no solid ground; I am out in deep water, and the waves are about to drown me.

69:3   I am worn out from calling for help, and my throat is aching. I have strained my eyes, looking for your help.

69:4   Those who hate me for no reason are more numerous than the hairs of my head. My enemies tell lies against me; they are strong and want to kill me. They made me give back things I did not steal.

69:5   My sins, O God, are not hidden from you; you know how foolish I have been.

69:6   Don't let me bring shame on those who trust in you, Sovereign LORD Almighty! Don't let me bring disgrace to those who worship you, O God of Israel!

69:7   It is for your sake that I have been insulted and that I am covered with shame.

69:8   I am like a stranger to my relatives, like a foreigner to my family.

69:9   My devotion to your Temple burns in me like a fire; the insults which are hurled at you fall on me.

69:10   I humble myself by fasting, and people insult me;

69:11   I dress myself in clothes of mourning, and they laugh at me.

69:12   They talk about me in the streets, and drunkards make up songs about me.

69:13   But as for me, I will pray to you, LORD; answer me, God, at a time you choose. Answer me because of your great love, because you keep your promise to save.

69:14   Save me from sinking in the mud; keep me safe from my enemies, safe from the deep water.

69:15   Don't let the flood come over me; don't let me drown in the depths or sink into the grave.

69:16   Answer me, LORD, in the goodness of your constant love; in your great compassion turn to me!

69:17   Don't hide yourself from your servant; I am in great trouble---answer me now!

69:18   Come to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.

69:19   You know how I am insulted, how I am disgraced and dishonored; you see all my enemies.

69:20   Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I had hoped for sympathy, but there was none; for comfort, but I found none.

69:21   When I was hungry, they gave me poison; when I was thirsty, they offered me vinegar.

69:22   May their banquets cause their ruin; may their sacred feasts cause their downfall.

69:23   Strike them with blindness! Make their backs always weak!

69:24   Pour out your anger on them; let your indignation overtake them.

69:25   May their camps be left deserted; may no one be left alive in their tents.

69:26   They persecute those whom you have punished; they talk about the sufferings of those you have wounded.

69:27   Keep a record of all their sins; don't let them have any part in your salvation.

69:28   May their names be erased from the book of the living; may they not be included in the list of your people.

69:29   But I am in pain and despair; lift me up, O God, and save me!

69:30   I will praise God with a song; I will proclaim his greatness by giving him thanks.

69:31   This will please the LORD more than offering him cattle, more than sacrificing a full-grown bull.

69:32   When the oppressed see this, they will be glad; those who worship God will be encouraged.

69:33   The LORD listens to those in need and does not forget his people in prison.

69:34   Praise God, O heaven and earth, seas and all creatures in them.

69:35   He will save Jerusalem and rebuild the towns of Judah. His people will live there and possess the land;

69:36   the descendants of his servants will inherit it, and those who love him will live there.
