Psalms Capítulo 69

69 : 1 Save me, O God, for the waters have come in to my soul.

69 : 2 I sink in deep mire where there is no standing. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

69 : 3 I am weary with my crying. My throat is dried. My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

69 : 4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who would cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. That which I took not away I have to restore.

69 : 5 O God, thou know my foolishness, and my sins are not hid from thee.

69 : 6 Let not those who wait for thee be put to shame through me, O lord Jehovah of hosts. Let not those who seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.

69 : 7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach, shame has covered my face.

69 : 8 I have become a stranger to my brothers, and an alien to my mother's sons.

69 : 9 For the zeal of thy house has eaten me up, and the reproaches of those who reproach thee have fallen upon me.

69 : 10 When I wept in my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

69 : 11 When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.

69 : 12 Those who sit in the gate talk of me, and I am the song of the drunkards.

69 : 13 But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Jehovah. In an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of thy loving kindness, answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

69 : 14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.

69 : 15 Let not the water flood overwhelm me, nor let the deep swallow me up. And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

69 : 16 Answer me, O Jehovah, for thy loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou to me,

69 : 17 and hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily.

69 : 18 Draw near to my soul, and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.

69 : 19 Thou know my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before thee.

69 : 20 Reproach has 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.

69 : 21 They also gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

69 : 22 Let their table before them become a snare, and when they are in peace, a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them.

69 : 23 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see, and bow down their back continually.

69 : 24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.

69 : 25 Let their habitation be desolate. Let none dwell in their tents.

69 : 26 For they persecute him whom thou have smitten, and they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou have wounded.

69 : 27 Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.

69 : 28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.

69 : 29 But I am poor and sorrowful. Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

69 : 30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving,

69 : 31 and it will please Jehovah better than an ox, or a bullock that has horns and hoofs.

69 : 32 The meek have seen it, and are glad. Ye who seek after God, let your heart live.

69 : 33 For Jehovah hears the needy, and does not despise his prisoners.

69 : 34 Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and everything that moves therein.

69 : 35 For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.

69 : 36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell therein.
