Psalms 69

1

Psalm 69 For the director of music. To [the tune of] "Lilies." Of David.

1

Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck.

2

I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold. I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me.

3

I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

4

Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal.

5

You know my folly, O God; my guilt is not hidden from you.

6

May those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me, O Lord, the LORD Almighty; may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me, O God of Israel.

7

For I endure scorn for your sake, and shame covers my face.

8

I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my own mother's sons;

9

for zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.

10

When I weep and fast, I must endure scorn;

11

when I put on sackcloth, people make sport of me.

12

Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of the drunkards.

13

But I pray to you, O LORD, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation.

14

Rescue me from the mire, do not let me sink; deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep waters.

15

Do not let the floodwaters engulf me or the depths swallow me up or the pit close its mouth over me.

16

Answer me, O LORD, out of the goodness of your love; in your great mercy turn to me.

17

Do not hide your face from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.

18

Come near and rescue me; redeem me because of my foes.

19

You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed; all my enemies are before you.

20

Scorn has broken my heart and has left me helpless; I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found none.

21

They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst.

22

May the table set before them become a snare; may it become retribution and a trap.

23

May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.

24

Pour out your wrath on them; let your fierce anger overtake them.

25

May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.

26

For they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of those you hurt.

27

Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation.

28

May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.

29

I am in pain and distress; may your salvation, O God, protect me.

30

I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.

31

This will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hoofs.

32

The poor will see and be glad-- you who seek God, may your hearts live!

33

The LORD hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.

34

Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them,

35

for God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah. Then people will settle there and possess it;

36

the children of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name will dwell there.

Psalms 70

1

Psalm 70 For the director of music. Of David. A petition.

1

Hasten, O God, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.

2

May those who seek my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

3

May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" turn back because of their shame.

4

But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "Let God be exalted!"

5

Yet I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.

Psalms 71

1

Psalm 71

1

In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.

2

Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness; turn your ear to me and save me.

3

Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

4

Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of evil and cruel men.

5

For you have been my hope, O Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth.

6

From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever praise you.

7

I have become like a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge.

8

My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.

9

Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.

10

For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together.

11

They say, "God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him."

12

Be not far from me, O God; come quickly, O my God, to help me.

13

May my accusers perish in shame; may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.

14

But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.

15

My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure.

16

I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign LORD; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.

17

Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.

18

Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come.

19

Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, you who have done great things. Who, O God, is like you?

20

Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.

21

You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.

22

I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

23

My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you-- I, whom you have redeemed.

24

My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion.
