| [1] Saue me O Lorde: for waters haue entred in vnto my soule |
[1]To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in to my soul. |
| [2]I am ouer the head in deepe myre where I feele no grounde: I plunge in deepe waters where the streame ouerwhelmeth me |
[2]I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. |
| [3]I am weery of crying, my throte is drye: my syght fayleth me through the long attendaunce that I haue geuen vpon my Lorde |
[3]I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: my eyes fail while I wait for my God. |
| [4]They that hate me without a cause are mo then the heeres of my head: they that are myne enemies and woulde destroy me giltlesse are mightie, I payde them the thynges that I neuer toke |
[4]They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away. |
| [5]God thou knowest my folly: and my faultes are not hyd from thee |
[5]O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. |
| [6]Let not them that trust in thee O Lorde God of hoastes, be for my cause ashamed: let not those that seke thee, be through me confounded O Lorde of Israel |
[6]Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. |
| [7](69:7a) For thy sake haue I suffered reprofe, shame hath couered my face |
[7]Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. |
| [8](69:7b) I am become a straunger vnto my brethren, euen an aliaunt vnto my mothers children |
[8]I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to my mother's children. |
| [9](69:8) For the zeale of thine house hath euen eaten me: and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me |
[9]For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee have fallen upon me. |
| [10](69:9) And I wept [chastenyng] my soule with fastyng: and that was turned to my reproofe |
[10]When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. |
| [11](69:10) Also I put on sackcloth for my garment: and they iested at me |
[11]I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them. |
| [12](69:11) They that sit in the gate speake agaynst me: and they that drynke strong drynke [make] songes [vpon me. |
[12]They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards. |
| [13](69:12) But [I make] my prayer vnto thee O God in an acceptable tyme: heare me O Lord in the multitude of thy mercie, according to the trueth of thy saluation |
[13]But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. |
| [14](69:13) Take me out of the myre, that I sincke not: oh let me be delyuered from them that hate me, & out of the deepe waters |
[14]Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. |
| [15](69:14) Let not the water fludde drowne me, neither let the deepe swalowe me vp: & let not the pyt shut her mouth vpon me |
[15]Let not the water-flood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. |
| [16](69:15) Heare me O God, for thy louyng kindnesse is comfortable: turne thee vnto me accordyng vnto the multitude of thy mercies |
[16]Hear me, O LORD; for thy loving-kindness is good: turn to me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. |
| [17](69:16) And hyde not thy face from thy seruaunt, for I am in trouble: O haste thee [and] heare me |
[17]And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. |
| [18](69:17) Draw nigh vnto my soule & redeeme it: for myne enemies sake oh redeeme me |
[18]Draw nigh to my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies. |
| [19](69:18) Thou hast knowen my reproofe, my shame, and my dishonour: myne aduersaries are all in thy syght |
[19]Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: my adversaries are all before thee. |
| [20](69:19) Reproofe hath broke my heart a peeces, I am full of heauinesse: I loked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was none, and for some that shoulde comfort me, but I coulde fynde none |
[20]Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. |
| [21](69:20) They gaue me for meate, gall to eate: and when I was thirstie, they gaue me vineger to drynke |
[21]They gave me also gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. |
| [22](69:21) Let their table be as a snare before them: and in steade of aboundaunce of peace, let it be a meanes of destruction |
[22]Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. |
| [23](69:22) Let their eyes be blynded that they see not: and euer bowe downe their loynes |
[23]Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. |
| [24](69:23) Powre out thine indignation vpon them: and let thy wrathfull displeasure take holde of them |
[24]Pour out thy indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. |
| [25](69:24) Let their habitation be desolate: and let no man dwell in their tabernacles |
[25]Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. |
| [26](69:25) For they persecute hym whom thou hast smitten: and they talke of the griefe of them whom thou hast wounded |
[26]For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. |
| [27](69:26) Let them fall from one wickednesse to another: and let them not enter into thy ryghteousnesse |
[27]Add iniquity to their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. |
| [28](69:27) Let them be wyped out of the booke of the lyuyng: and not to be written among the ryghteous |
[28]Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. |
| [29](69:28) As for me I am afflicted and in heauinesse: thy sauing helpe O Lorde shal defende me |
[29]But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. |
| [30](69:29) I wyll prayse the name of the Lorde with a song: and magnifie hym with a solemne confession |
[30]I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. |
| [31](69:30) And it wyll please God: better then a bullocke that hath hornes and hoofes |
[31]This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. |
| [32](69:31) The humble wyll consider this and be glad, such as seke after God: and your soule shall lyue |
[32]The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. |
| [33](69:32) For God heareth the poore: & dispiseth not his prisoners |
[33]For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. |
| [34](69:33) Let heauen and earth prayse hym: the sea and all that moueth therin |
[34]Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. |
| [35](69:34) For the Lorde wyll saue Sion, and builde the cities of Iehuda: that men may dwel there and haue it in possession |
[35]For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. |
| [36](69:35) The posteritie also of his seruauntes shall inherite it: and they that loue his name shall dwell therin |
[36]The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein. |
