Compare: Psalm 69

ASV

For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; For the waters are come in unto my soul.

ASV

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

ASV

I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

ASV

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.

ASV

O God, thou knowest my foolishness; And my sins are not hid from thee.

ASV

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.

ASV

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face.

ASV

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, And an alien unto my mother’s children.

ASV

For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.

ASV

When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach.

ASV

When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword unto them.

ASV

They that sit in the gate talk of me; And [I am] the song of the drunkards.

ASV

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness, Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

ASV

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

ASV

Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, Neither let the deep swallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

ASV

Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.

ASV

And hide not thy face from thy servant; For I am in distress; answer me speedily.

ASV

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: Ransom me because of mine enemies.

ASV

Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: Mine adversaries are all before thee.

ASV

Reproach hath 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.

ASV

They gave me also gall for my food; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

ASV

Let their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, [let it become] a trap.

ASV

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; And make their loins continually to shake.

ASV

Pour out thine indignation upon them, And let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.

ASV

Let their habitation be desolate; Let none dwell in their tents.

ASV

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; And they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.

ASV

Add iniquity unto their iniquity; And let them not come into thy righteousness.

ASV

Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous.

ASV

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

ASV

I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving.

ASV

And it will please Jehovah better than an ox, [Or] a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

ASV

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

ASV

For Jehovah heareth the needy, And despiseth not his prisoners.

ASV

Let heaven and earth praise him, The seas, and everything that moveth therein.

ASV

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

ASV

The seed also of his servants shall inherit it; And they that love his name shall dwell therein.
