Psalms 69 Background Information with Maps and Images (Picture Study Bible - Psalms) Free Bible Online

1 - Save me, God,for the waters have come up to my neck!

2 - I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold.I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

3 - I am weary with my crying.My throat is dry.My eyes fail, looking for my God.

4 - Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head.Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty.I have to restore what I didn't take away.

5 - God, you know my foolishness.My sins aren't hidden from you.

6 - Don't let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord the LORD of Hosts.Don't let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, God of Israel.

7 - Because for your sake, I have borne reproach.Shame has covered my face.

8 - I have become a stranger to my brothers,an alien to my mother's children.

9 - For the zeal of your house consumes me.The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.

10 - When I wept and I fasted,that was to my reproach.
