Psalms 69
Reading Psalms chapter 69 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–10
1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in to [my] soul.
2 I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: my eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, [being] my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I took not away.
5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
8 I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to my mother's children.
9 For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee have fallen upon me.
10 When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
