LSV PSA Chapter 69

69 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” BY DAVID. Save me, O God, for waters have come to the soul. 2 I have sunk in deep mire,
And there is no standing,
I have come into the depths of the waters,
And a flood has overflown me. 3 I have been wearied with my calling,
My throat has been burned,
My eyes have been consumed, waiting for my God. 4 Those hating me without cause
Have been more than the hairs of my head,
Mighty have been my destroyers,
My lying enemies,
That which I did not take away—I bring back. 5 O God, You have known
Concerning my overturn,
And my desolations have not been hid from You. 6 Do not let those waiting on You be ashamed because of me,
O Lord, YHWH of Hosts,
Do not let those seeking You
Blush because of me,
O God of Israel. 7 For because of You I have borne reproach,
Shame has covered my face. 8 I have been a stranger to my brother,
And a foreigner to sons of my mother. 9 For [my] zeal for Your house has consumed me,
And the reproaches of Your reproachers
Have fallen on me. 10 And I weep in the fasting of my soul,
And it is for a reproach to me. 11 And I make my clothing sackcloth,
And I am for an allegory to them. 12 Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me,
And those drinking strong drink,
Play on instruments. 13 And my prayer [is] to You, O YHWH,
A time of good pleasure, O God,
In the abundance of Your kindness,
Answer me in the truth of Your salvation. 14 Deliver me from the mire, and do not let me sink,
Let me be delivered from those hating me,
And from deep places of waters. 15 Do not let a flood of waters overflow me,
Nor let the deep swallow me up,
Nor let the pit shut her mouth on me. 16 Answer me, O YHWH, for Your kindness [is] good,
Turn to me according to the abundance of Your mercies, 17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am in distress—hurry, answer me. 18 Be near to my soul—redeem it,
Ransom me because of my enemies. 19 You have known my reproach,
And my shame, and my blushing,
All my adversaries [are] before You. 20 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am sick,
And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none,
And for comforters, and I have found none. 21 And they give gall for my food,
And cause me to drink vinegar for my thirst. 22 Their table before them is for a snare,
And for a repayment—for a trap. 23 Their eyes are darkened from seeing,
And their loins continually shake You. 24 Pour Your indignation on them,
And the fierceness of Your anger seizes them. 25 Their tower is desolated,
There is no dweller in their tents. 26 For they have pursued him [whom] You have struck,
And recount of the pain of Your pierced ones. 27 Give punishment for their iniquity,
And they do not enter into Your righteousness. 28 They are blotted out of the scroll of life,
And are not written with the righteous. 29 And I [am] afflicted and pained,
Your salvation, O God, sets me on high. 30 I praise the Name of God with a song,
And I magnify Him with thanksgiving, 31 And it is better to YHWH than an ox,
A bullock—horned [and] hoofed. 32 The humble have seen—they rejoice,
You who seek God—and your heart lives. 33 For YHWH listens to the needy,
And He has not despised His bound ones. 34 The heavens and earth praise Him,
Seas, and every moving thing in them. 35 For God saves Zion,
And builds the cities of Judah,
And they have dwelt there, and possess it. 36 And the seed of His servants inherit it,
And those loving His Name dwell in it!
