For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Lilies." By David. Save me, God, For the waters have come up to my neck! |
2
|
I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. |
3
|
I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail, looking for my God. |
4
|
Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn\'t take away. |
5
|
God, you know my foolishness. My sins aren\'t hidden from you. |
6
|
Don\'t let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord Yahweh of Hosts. Don\'t let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, God of Israel. |
7
|
Because for your sake, I have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face. |
8
|
I have become a stranger to my brothers, An alien to my mother\'s children. |
9
|
For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me. |
10
|
When I wept and I fasted, That was to my reproach. |
11
|
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them. |
12
|
Those who sit in the gate talk about me. I am the song of the drunkards. |
13
|
But as for me, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation. |
14
|
Deliver me out of the mire, and don\'t let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters. |
15
|
Don\'t let the flood waters overwhelm me, Neither let the deep swallow me up. Don\'t let the pit shut its mouth on me. |
16
|
Answer me, Yahweh, for your loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me. |
17
|
Don\'t hide your face from your servant, For I am in distress. Answer me speedily! |
18
|
Draw near to my soul, and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies. |
19
|
You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before you. |
20
|
Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; For comforters, but I found none. |
21
|
They also gave me gall for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink. |
22
|
Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap. |
23
|
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can\'t see. Let their backs be continually bent. |
24
|
Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them. |
25
|
Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents. |
26
|
For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt. |
27
|
Charge them with crime upon crime. Don\'t let them come into your righteousness. |
28
|
Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous. |
29
|
But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me. |
30
|
I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving. |
31
|
It will please Yahweh better than an ox, Or a bull that has horns and hoofs. |
32
|
The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live. |
33
|
For Yahweh hears the needy, And doesn\'t despise his captive people. |
34
|
Let heaven and earth praise him; The seas, and everything that moves therein! |
35
|
For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. They shall settle there, and own it. |
36
|
The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein. |
