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
English Standard Version
Psalm 69
English Standard Version
Save Me, O God
To the choirmaster: according to (A)Lilies. Of David.
69 Save me, O God!
For (B)the waters have come up to my neck.[a]
2 I sink in deep (C)mire,
where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood (D)sweeps over me.
3 (E)I am weary with my crying out;
(F)my throat is parched.
(G)My eyes grow dim
with (H)waiting for my God.
4 (I)More in number than the hairs of my head
are (J)those who hate me (K)without cause;
mighty are those who would destroy me,
(L)those who attack me with lies.
What I did not steal
must I now restore?
5 O God, you know my folly;
the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
6 Let not those who hope in you (M)be put to shame through me,
O Lord God of hosts;
let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me,
O God of Israel.
7 For it is (N)for your sake that I have borne reproach,
that dishonor has covered my face.
8 I have become (O)a stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my mother's sons.
9 For (P)zeal for your house has consumed me,
and (Q)the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
10 When I wept and humbled[b] my soul with fasting,
it became my reproach.
11 When I made (R)sackcloth my clothing,
I became (S)a byword to them.
12 I am the talk of those who (T)sit in the gate,
and the drunkards make (U)songs about me.
13 But as for me, my (V)prayer is to you, O Lord.
At (W)an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
14 Deliver me
from sinking in (X)the mire;
(Y)let me be delivered from my enemies
and from (Z)the deep waters.
15 Let not the flood sweep over me,
or the deep swallow me up,
or (AA)the pit close (AB)its mouth over me.
16 Answer me, O Lord, for your (AC)steadfast love is good;
according to your abundant (AD)mercy, (AE)turn to me.
17 (AF)Hide not your face from your servant,
(AG)for I am in distress; (AH)make haste to answer me.
18 Draw near to my soul, redeem me;
ransom me because of my enemies!
19 You know my (AI)reproach,
and my shame and my dishonor;
my foes are all known to you.
20 (AJ)Reproaches have broken my heart,
so that I am in (AK)despair.
I (AL)looked for (AM)pity, but there was none,
and for (AN)comforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me (AO)poison for food,
and for my thirst they gave me (AP)sour wine to drink.
22 (AQ)Let their own (AR)table before them become a snare;
(AS)and when they are at peace, let it become a trap.[c]
23 (AT)Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see,
(AU)and make their loins tremble continually.
24 Pour out your indignation upon them,
and let your burning anger overtake them.
25 (AV)May their camp be a desolation;
let no one dwell in their tents.
26 For they (AW)persecute him whom (AX)you have struck down,
and they recount the pain of (AY)those you have wounded.
27 (AZ)Add to them punishment upon punishment;
may they have no acquittal from you.[d]
28 Let them be (BA)blotted out of the book of the living;
let them not be (BB)enrolled among the righteous.
29 But I am afflicted and in pain;
let your salvation, O God, (BC)set me on high!
30 I will (BD)praise the name of God with a song;
I will (BE)magnify him with (BF)thanksgiving.
31 This will (BG)please the Lord more than an ox
or a bull (BH)with horns and hoofs.
32 When (BI)the humble see it they will be glad;
you who seek God, (BJ)let your hearts revive.
33 For the Lord hears the needy
and (BK)does not despise his own people who are prisoners.
34 Let (BL)heaven and earth praise him,
the seas and everything that moves in them.
35 For (BM)God will save Zion
and build up the cities of Judah,
and people shall dwell there and possess it;
36 (BN)the offspring of his servants shall inherit it,
and those who love his name shall dwell in it.

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.
