Psalm 69 — Psalms 69:1–8
PSALM 69第六十九篇For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. A Psalm of David.
Save me, O God;
For the waters are come in unto my soul.
For the waters are come in unto my soul.
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing:
I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried:
Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head:
They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty:
That which I took not away I have to restore.
They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty:
That which I took not away I have to restore.
O God, thou knowest my foolishness;
And my sins are not hid from thee.
And my sins are not hid from thee.
Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts:
Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.
Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach;
Shame hath covered my face.
Shame hath covered my face.
I am become a stranger unto my brethren,
And an alien unto my mother's children.
And an alien unto my mother's children.
