Psalm 69:4-14

New Living Translation

⁴Those who hate me without cause
outnumber the hairs on my head.
Many enemies try to destroy me with lies,
demanding that I give back what I didn’t steal.

⁵O God, you know how foolish I am;
    my sins cannot be hidden from you.
⁶Don’t let those who trust in you be ashamed because of me,
    O Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
Don’t let me cause them to be humiliated,
    O God of Israel.
⁷For I endure insults for your sake;
    humiliation is written all over my face.
⁸Even my own brothers pretend they don’t know me;
    they treat me like a stranger.

⁹Passion for your house has consumed me,
    and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.
¹⁰When I weep and fast,
    they scoff at me.
¹¹When I dress in burlap to show sorrow,
    they make fun of me.
¹²I am the favorite topic of town gossip,
    and all the drunks sing about me.

¹³But I keep praying to you, Lord,
    hoping this time you will show me favor.
In your unfailing love, O God,
    answer my prayer with your sure salvation.
¹⁴Rescue me from the mud;
    don’t let me sink any deeper!
Save me from those who hate me,
    and pull me from these deep waters.

New International Version

⁴Those who hate me^(A) without reason^(B)
    outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,^(C)
    those who seek to destroy me.^(D)
I am forced to restore
    what I did not steal.

⁵You, God, know my folly;^(E)
my guilt is not hidden from you.^(F)

⁶Lord, 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.
⁷For I endure scorn^(G) for your sake,^(H)
    and shame covers my face.^(I)
⁸I am a foreigner to my own family,
    a stranger to my own mother’s children;^(J)
⁹for zeal for your house consumes me,^(K)
    and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.^(L)
¹⁰When I weep and fast,^(M)
    I must endure scorn;
¹¹when I put on sackcloth,^(N)
    people make sport of me.
¹²Those who sit at the gate^(O) mock me,
    and I am the song of the drunkards.^(P)

¹³But I pray to you, Lord,
    in the time of your favor;^(Q)
in your great love,^(R) O God,
    answer me with your sure salvation.
¹⁴Rescue me from the mire,
    do not let me sink;
deliver me from those who hate me,
    from the deep waters.^(S)
