Psalm 69
New International Version
Psalm 69
New International Version
Psalm 69[a]
For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David.
1 Save me, O God,
for the waters(A) have come up to my neck.(B)
2 I sink in the miry depths,(C)
where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
the floods engulf me.
3 I am worn out calling for help;(D)
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,(E)
looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me(F) without reason(G)
outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,(H)
those who seek to destroy me.(I)
I am forced to restore
what I did not steal.
6 Lord, the Lord Almighty,
may those who hope in you
not be disgraced because of me;
God of Israel,
may those who seek you
not be put to shame because of me.
7 For I endure scorn(L) for your sake,(M)
and shame covers my face.(N)
8 I am a foreigner to my own family,
a stranger to my own mother’s children;(O)
9 for zeal for your house consumes me,(P)
and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.(Q)
10 When I weep and fast,(R)
I must endure scorn;
11 when I put on sackcloth,(S)
people make sport of me.
12 Those who sit at the gate(T) mock me,
and I am the song of the drunkards.(U)
13 But I pray to you, Lord,
in the time of your favor;(V)
in your great love,(W) 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.(X)
15 Do not let the floodwaters(Y) engulf me
or the depths swallow me up(Z)
or the pit close its mouth over me.(AA)
16 Answer me, Lord, out of the goodness of your love;(AB)
in your great mercy turn to me.
17 Do not hide your face(AC) from your servant;
answer me quickly,(AD) for I am in trouble.(AE)
18 Come near and rescue me;
deliver(AF) me because of my foes.
19 You know how I am scorned,(AG) 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,(AH) but I found none.(AI)
21 They put gall in my food
and gave me vinegar(AJ) for my thirst.(AK)
22 May the table set before them become a snare;
may it become retribution and[b] a trap.(AL)
23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever.(AM)
24 Pour out your wrath(AN) on them;
let your fierce anger overtake them.
25 May their place be deserted;(AO)
let there be no one to dwell in their tents.(AP)
26 For they persecute those you wound
and talk about the pain of those you hurt.(AQ)
27 Charge them with crime upon crime;(AR)
do not let them share in your salvation.(AS)
28 May they be blotted out of the book of life(AT)
and not be listed with the righteous.(AU)
29 But as for me, afflicted and in pain—
may your salvation, God, protect me.(AV)
30 I will praise God’s name in song(AW)
and glorify him(AX) with thanksgiving.
31 This will please the Lord more than an ox,
more than a bull with its horns and hooves.(AY)
32 The poor will see and be glad(AZ)—
you who seek God, may your hearts live!(BA)
33 The Lord hears the needy(BB)
and does not despise his captive people.

Salmo 69 (68)
Estoy cansado de gritar
69 Al maestro del coro. Según “Los lirios”. De David.
2 Oh Dios, sálvame, que estoy
con el agua al cuello,
3 que me hundo en un profundo cenagal
y no tengo dónde apoyar el pie;
me encuentro en el seno de las aguas
y me arrastra la corriente.
4 Estoy cansado de gritar,
tengo seca la garganta
y se consumen mis ojos
mientras espero a mi Dios.
5 Más numerosos que mis cabellos
son los que me odian sin motivo;
son fuertes quienes quieren destruirme,
quienes me detestan sin razón alguna.
¿Tendré que devolver lo que no robé?
6 Oh Dios, tú conoces mi necedad,
no se te ocultan mis pecados.
7 Que no se avergüencen por mi culpa
quienes ponen en ti su esperanza,
Dios mío, Señor del universo;
que no se sonrojen por mi culpa
quienes te buscan, Dios de Israel,
8 pues por ti soporto la humillación
y la vergüenza cubre mi rostro.
9 Soy un desconocido para mis hermanos,
un extraño para los hijos de mi madre.
10 Me consume la pasión por tu Templo,
me abate el desprecio de quienes te desprecian.
11 Yo me mortifico con el ayuno
y soy por esto motivo de burla;
12 me visto con tela de saco
y soy para ellos motivo de risa.
13 Me critican los que se sientan en la plaza
y también los bebedores en sus cantos.
14 Pero yo, Señor, te dirijo mi oración
en el momento propicio.
Oh Dios, por tu inmenso amor, respóndeme;
por tu fidelidad, sálvame.
15 Sácame del barro, que no me hunda;
líbrame de mis enemigos y del seno de las aguas.
16 Que no me arrastre la corriente,
que no me trague el abismo,
que no se cierre sobre mí el brocal del pozo.
17 Respóndeme, Señor, por la bondad de tu amor;
por tu gran misericordia vuélvete hacia mí.
18 No apartes tu rostro de tu siervo;
estoy angustiado, respóndeme pronto.
19 Acércate a mí y redímeme,
rescátame porque tengo enemigos.
20 Tú conoces mi humillación,
mi vergüenza y mi deshonra;
todos mis rivales te son conocidos.
21 El insulto ha roto mi corazón
y no tiene cura alguna;
esperé consuelo pero no lo tuve,
no encontré quien me confortara.
22 Pusieron veneno en mi comida
y apagaron mi sed con vinagre.
23 Que su mesa se convierta en su red,
en una trampa para sus amigos;
24 que se queden ciegos y no vean,
que sin cesar tiemble su espalda.
25 Derrama sobre ellos tu furor,
que los alcance tu cólera ardiente;
26 que su campamento sea arrasado,
que no quede nadie en sus tiendas.
27 Porque persiguen al que tú hieres,
pregonan el sufrimiento de tus víctimas.
28 Impútales todas sus culpas
y que no les alcance tu perdón;
29 que sean borrados del libro de los vivos,
que no sean inscritos con los justos.
30 Pero a mí, humilde y sufriente,
que tu poder salvador, oh Dios, me proteja.
31 Alabaré con canciones el nombre de Dios,
con himnos de gratitud lo ensalzaré.
32 Y esto complacerá a Dios más que un toro,
más que un novillo astado con pezuñas.
33 Que se alegren los humildes cuando lo vean,
que se reanime el corazón de los que a Dios buscáis.
34 Porque el Señor escucha a los oprimidos,
no desprecia a los cautivos.
35 Que lo alaben los cielos y la tierra,
los mares y cuanto se mueve en ellos,
36 pues Dios salvará a Sión,
reconstruirá las ciudades de Judá,
habitarán allí y la heredarán;
37 la poseerá la estirpe de sus siervos,
los que aman su nombre vivirán en ella.
Psalm 69
King James Version
Psalm 69
King James Version
69 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto 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: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4 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.
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 unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
13 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.
14 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.
15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Hear me, O Lord; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20 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.
21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33 For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
