Psalm 69:5-15
New American Standard Bible
5 God, You know (A)my foolishness,
And (B)my guilt is not hidden from You.
6 May those who wait for You not (C)be ashamed because of me, Lord [a]God of armies;
May those who seek You not be dishonored because of me, God of Israel,
7 Because (D)for Your sake I have endured disgrace;
(E)Dishonor has covered my face.
8 I have become (F)estranged [b]from my brothers,
And a stranger to my mother’s sons.
9 For (G)zeal for Your house has consumed me,
And (H)the taunts of those who taunt You have fallen on me.
10 When I wept (I)in my soul with fasting,
It became my (J)disgrace.
11 When I made (K)sackcloth my clothing,
I became (L)a proverb to them.
12 Those who (M)sit in the gate talk about me,
And (N)songs of mockery by those habitually drunk are about me.
13 But as for me, my prayer is to You, Lord, (O)at an acceptable time;
God, in the (P)greatness of Your mercy,
Answer me with [c]Your saving truth.
14 Rescue me from the (Q)mud and do not let me sink;
May I be (R)rescued from those who hate me, and from the (S)depths of water.
15 May the [d](T)flood of water not overflow me
Nor the deep swallow me up,
Nor the (U)pit close its mouth on me.

22 And (A)he showed me a (B)river of the (C)water of life, [a]clear (D)as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of [b]the Lamb, 2 in the middle of (E)its street. (F)On either side of the river was (G)the tree of life, bearing twelve [c]kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 (H)There will no longer be any curse; and (I)the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will (J)serve Him; 4 they will (K)see His face, and His (L)name will be on their (M)foreheads. 5 And (N)there will no longer be any night; and they [d]will not have need (O)of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them; and they will (P)reign forever and ever.
