CHAP. LXIX.

1 Dauid complaineth of his affliction. 13 Hee prayeth for deliuerance. 22 Hee deuoteth his enemies to destruction. 30 He praiseth God with thankesgiuing.

¹ [To the chiefe musician vpon Shoshannim, A Psalme of Dauid.] Saue mee, O God, for the waters are come in vnto my soule.

² I sinke in deepe mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deepe waters, where the flouds ouerflow me.²

³ I am weary of my crying, my throate is dried: mine eyes faile while I waite for my God.

⁴ They that hate mee without a cause, are moe then the haires of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mineenemies wrongfully, are mightie: then I restored that which I tooke not away.

⁵ O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse; and my sinnes are not hidde from thee.⁵

⁶ Let not them that waite on thee, O Lord God of hostes, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seeke thee, beconfounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

⁷ Because for thy sake I haue borne reproch: shame hath couered my face.

⁸ I am become a stranger vnto my brethren, and an aliant vnto my mothers children.

⁹ For the zeale of thine house hath eaten mee vp; and the reproches of them that reproched thee, are fallen vpon me.⁹

¹⁰ When I wept, and chastened my soule with fasting, that was to my reproch.

¹¹ I made sackecloth also my garment: & I became a prouerbe to them.

¹² They that sit in the gate, speake against mee; and I was the song of the drunkards.¹²

¹³ But as for mee, my prayer is vnto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercie heareme, in the trueth of thy saluation.

¹⁴ Deliuer me out of the mire, and let me not sinke: let me bee deliuered from them that hate me, and out of thedeepe waters.

¹⁵ Let not the water flood ouerflow me, neither let the deepe swallow mee vp, and let not the pit shut her mouth vponme.

¹⁶ Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnesse is good: turne vnto mee according to the multitude of thy tendermercies.

¹⁷ And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: heare me speedily.¹⁷

¹⁸ Draw nigh vnto my soule, and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies.

¹⁹ Thou hast knowen my reproch and my shame and my dishonor: mine aduersaries are all before thee.

²⁰ Reproch hath broken my heart, and I am full of heauines: and I looked for some to take pitie, but there was none;and for comforters, but I found none.²⁰

²¹ They gaue mee also gall for my meat, and in my thirst they gaue mee vineger to drinke.²¹

²² Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should haue bene for their welfare, let it become atrap.²²

²³ Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and make their loines continually to shake.

²⁴ Powre out thine indignation vpon them, and let thy wrathfull anger take hold of them.

²⁵ Let their habitation be desolate, and let none dwell in their tents.²⁵

²⁶ For they persecute him whō thou hast smitten, and they talke to the griefe of those whom thou hast wounded.²⁶

²⁷ Adde iniquitie vnto their iniquitie: and let them not come into thy righteousnesse.²⁷

²⁸ Let them bee blotted out of the booke of the liuing, and not be written with the righteous.

²⁹ But I am poore, and sorowfull: let thy saluation (O God) set me vp on high.

³⁰ I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnifie him with thankesgiuing.

³¹ This also shall please the Lord better then an oxe or bullocke that hath hornes and hoofes.

³² The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall liue that seeke good.³²

³³ For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners.

³⁴ Let the heauen and earth praise him, the seas, and euery thing that moueth therein.³⁴

³⁵ For God will saue Sion, and will build the cities of Iudah, that they may dwell there, and haue it in possession.

³⁶ The seede also of his seruants shall inherit it: and they that loue his name shall dwell therein.
