19:069:001 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
19:069:002 I sink in deep mire, where there is no
standing: I am come
into
deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
19:069:003 I am weary of my crying: my throat
is dried: mine eyes fail
while
I wait for my God.
19:069:004 They that hate me without a cause are more
than the hairs of
mine
head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies
wrongfully,
are mighty: then I restored that which I took
not
away.
19:069:005 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and
my sins are not hid
from
thee.
19:069:006 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.
19:069:007 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach;
shame hath covered
my
face.
19:069:008 I am become a stranger unto my brethren,
and an alien unto my
mother’s
children.
19:069:009 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten
me up; and the
reproaches
of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
19:069:010 When I wept, and chastened my soul with
fasting, that was to
my
reproach.
19:069:011 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I
became a proverb to
them.
19:069:012 They that sit in the gate speak against
me; and I was the song
of
the drunkards.
19:069:013 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee,
O lord, in an
acceptable
time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear
me,
in
the truth of thy salvation.
19:069:014 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.
19:069:015 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither
let the deep
swallow
me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
19:069:016 Hear me, O lord; for thy lovingkindness
is good: turn unto me
according
to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
19:069:017 And hide not thy face from thy servant;
for I am in trouble:
hear
me speedily.
19:069:018 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it:
deliver me because of
mine
enemies.
19:069:019 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame,
and my dishonour:
mine
adversaries are all before thee.
19:069:020 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.
19:069:021 They gave me also gall for my meat; and
in my thirst they gave
me
vinegar to drink.
