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.

Un grito de angustia
Al músico principal; sobre Lirios. Salmo de David.
69 Sálvame, oh Dios,
Porque las aguas me llegan hasta el cuello.
2 Estoy hundido en cieno profundo, donde no puedo hacer pie;
He venido al fondo de las aguas, y me arrastra la corriente.
3 Cansado estoy de llamar; mi garganta se ha enronquecido;
Han desfallecido mis ojos esperando a mi Dios.
4 Se han aumentado más que los cabellos de mi cabeza los que me aborrecen sin causa;
Se han hecho poderosos mis enemigos, los que me destruyen sin tener por qué.
¿Y he de pagar lo que no robé?
5 Dios, tú conoces mi insensatez,
Y mis pecados no te son ocultos.
6 No sean avergonzados por causa mía los que en ti confían, oh Señor Jehová de los ejércitos;
No sean confundidos por mí los que te buscan, oh Dios de Israel.
7 Porque por amor de ti he sufrido afrenta;
La vergüenza ha cubierto mi rostro.
8 He venido a ser un forastero para mis hermanos,
Y un desconocido para los hijos de mi madre.
9 Porque me devora el celo de tu casa;
Y los denuestos de los que te insultaban cayeron sobre mí.
10 Lloré afligiendo con ayuno mi alma,
Y esto se me vuelve en pretexto de insulto.
11 Me vestí de saco,
Y les fue un motivo más de burla.
12 Hablaban contra mí los que se sentaban a la puerta,
Y me zaherían en sus canciones los bebedores.
13 Pero yo a ti oraba, oh Jehová, al tiempo de tu buena voluntad;
Oh Dios, por la abundancia de tu misericordia,
Por la verdad de tu salvación, escúchame.
14 Sácame del lodo, y no sea yo sumergido;
Sea yo libertado de los que me aborrecen, y de lo profundo de las aguas.
15 No me anegue la corriente de las aguas,
Ni me trague el abismo,
Ni el pozo cierre sobre mí su boca.
16 Respóndeme, Jehová, porque benigna es tu misericordia;
Mírame conforme a tu gran compasión.
17 No escondas de tu siervo tu rostro,
Porque estoy angustiado; apresúrate, óyeme.
18 Acércate a mi alma, rescátala;
Líbrame a causa de mis enemigos.
19 Tú sabes mi afrenta, mi confusión y mi oprobio;
Delante de ti están todos mis adversarios.
20 El escarnio ha quebrantado mi corazón, y estoy acongojado.
Esperé quien se compadeciese de mí, y no lo hubo;
Y consoladores, y ninguno hallé.
21 Me pusieron veneno por comida,
Y en mi sed me dieron a beber vinagre.
22 Que se convierta su mesa en una trampa,
Y sus banquetes festivos, en tropiezo.
23 Sean oscurecidos sus ojos para que no vean,
Y haz temblar continuamente sus lomos.
24 Derrama sobre ellos tu ira,
Y el furor de tu enojo los alcance.
25 Su morada quede desierta;
En sus tiendas no habite nadie.
26 Porque persiguieron al que tú heriste,
Y comentan el dolor del que tú llagaste.
27 Pon maldad sobre su maldad,
Y no entren en tu justicia.
28 Sean borrados del libro de la vida,
Y no sean inscritos con los justos.
29 Mas en cuanto a mí, afligido y miserable,
Tu salvación, oh Dios, me ponga en alto.
30 Alabaré yo el nombre de Dios con cántico,
Lo ensalzaré con himnos de alabanza.
31 Y agradará a Jehová más que sacrificio de buey,
O becerro con cuernos y pezuñas;
32 Lo verán los oprimidos, y se gozarán.
Buscad a Dios, y vivirá vuestro corazón,
33 Porque Jehová oye a los menesterosos,
Y no menosprecia a sus cautivos.
34 Alábenle los cielos y la tierra,
Los mares, y todo lo que se mueve en ellos.
35 Porque Dios salvará a Sión, y reedificará las ciudades de Judá;
Y habitarán allí, y las poseerán.
36 La descendencia de sus siervos la heredará,
Y los que aman su nombre habitarán en ella.

An Urgent Plea for Help in Trouble
To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“The Lilies.” A Psalm of David.
69 Save me, O God!
For (A)the waters have come up to my [b]neck.
2 (B)I sink in deep mire,
Where there is no standing;
I have come into deep waters,
Where the floods overflow me.
3 (C)I am weary with my crying;
My throat is dry;
(D)My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4 Those who (E)hate me without a cause
Are more than the hairs of my head;
They are mighty who would destroy me,
Being my enemies wrongfully;
Though I have stolen nothing,
I still must restore it.
5 O God, You know my foolishness;
And my sins are not hidden from You.
6 Let not those who [c]wait for You, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed because of me;
Let not those who seek You be [d]confounded because of me, O God of Israel.
7 Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
Shame has covered my face.
8 (F)I have become a stranger to my brothers,
And an alien to my mother’s children;
9 (G)Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up,
(H)And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
10 When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting,
That became my reproach.
11 I also [e]made sackcloth my garment;
I became a byword to them.
12 Those who [f]sit in the gate speak against me,
And I am the song of the (I)drunkards.
13 But as for me, my prayer is to You,
O Lord, in the acceptable time;
O God, in the multitude of Your mercy,
Hear me in the truth of Your salvation.
14 Deliver me out of the mire,
And let me not sink;
Let me be delivered from those who hate me,
And out of the deep waters.
15 Let not the floodwater overflow me,
Nor let the deep swallow me up;
And let not the pit shut its mouth on me.
16 Hear me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good;
Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.
17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am in trouble;
Hear me speedily.
18 Draw near to my soul, and redeem it;
Deliver me because of my enemies.
19 You know (J)my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor;
My adversaries are all before You.
20 Reproach has broken my heart,
And I am full of [g]heaviness;
(K)I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none;
And for (L)comforters, but I found none.
21 They also gave me gall for my food,
(M)And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 (N)Let their table become a snare before them,
And their well-being a trap.
23 (O)Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see;
And make their loins shake continually.
24 (P)Pour out Your indignation upon them,
And let Your wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 (Q)Let their dwelling place be desolate;
Let no one live in their tents.
26 For they persecute the ones (R)You have struck,
And talk of the grief of those You have wounded.
27 (S)Add iniquity to their iniquity,
(T)And let them not come into Your righteousness.
28 Let them (U)be blotted out of the book of the living,
(V)And not be written with the righteous.
29 But I am poor and sorrowful;
Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 (W)I will praise the name of God with a song,
And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
31 (X)This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bull,
Which has horns and hooves.
32 (Y)The humble shall see this and be glad;
And you who seek God, (Z)your hearts shall live.
33 For the Lord hears the poor,
And does not despise (AA)His prisoners.
34 (AB)Let heaven and earth praise Him,
The seas (AC)and everything that moves in them.
35 (AD)For God will save Zion
And build the cities of Judah,
That they may dwell there and possess it.
36 Also, (AE)the [h]descendants of His servants shall inherit it,
And those who love His name shall dwell in it.
