Psalm - douay rheims

Chapter 69

¹ Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him.
² O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.
³ Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:
⁴ Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: 'T is well, 't is well.
⁵ Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
⁶ But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.

Chapter 69

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 sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
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 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 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
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 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
⁸ I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to my mother's children.
⁹ For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee have fallen upon me.
¹⁰ When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
¹¹ I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
¹² They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
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 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 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 Hear me, O LORD; for thy loving-kindness is good: turn to me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
¹⁷ And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
¹⁸ Draw nigh to my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.
¹⁹ Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: my adversaries are all before thee.
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 They gave me also gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
²² Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
²³ Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
²⁴ Pour out thy indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
²⁵ Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
²⁶ For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
²⁷ Add iniquity to their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
²⁸ Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
²⁹ But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
³⁰ I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
³¹ This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
³² The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
³³ For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
³⁴ Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
³⁵ For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
³⁶ The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Psalm - basic english

Chapter 69

¹ <To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of David.> Be my saviour, O God; because the waters have come in, even to my neck.
² My feet are deep in the soft earth, where there is no support; I have come into deep waters, the waves are flowing over me.
³ I am tired with my crying; my throat is burning: my eyes are wasted with waiting for my God.
⁴ Those who have hate for me without cause are greater in number than the hairs of my head; those who are against me, falsely desiring my destruction, are very strong; I gave back what I had not taken away.
⁵ O God, you see how foolish I am; and my wrongdoing is clear to you.
⁶ Let not those who have hope in you be put to shame because of me, O Lord God of armies: let not those who are waiting for you be made low because of me, O God of Israel.
⁷ I have been wounded with sharp words because of you; my face has been covered with shame.
⁸ I have become strange to my brothers, and like a man from a far country to my mother's children.
⁹ I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me.
¹⁰ My bitter weeping, and my going without food, were turned to my shame.
¹¹ When I put on the clothing of grief, they said evil of me.
¹² I am a cause of wonder to those in authority; a song to those who are given to strong drink.
¹³ But as for me, let my prayer be made to you, O Lord, at a time when you are pleased; O God, give me an answer in your great mercy, for your salvation is certain.
¹⁴ Take me from the grip of the sticky earth, so that I may not go down into it; let me be lifted up from the deep waters.
¹⁵ Let me not be covered by the flowing waters; let not the deep waters go over my head, and let me not be shut up in the underworld.
¹⁶ Give an answer to my words, O Lord; for your mercy is good: be turned to me, because of your great pity.
¹⁷ Let not your face be covered from your servant, for I am in trouble; quickly give me an answer.
¹⁸ Come near to my soul, for its salvation: be my saviour, because of those who are against me.
¹⁹ You have seen my shame, how I was laughed at and made low; my haters are all before you.
²⁰ My heart is broken by bitter words, I am full of grief; I made a search for some to have pity on me, but there was no one; I had no comforter.
²¹ They gave me poison for my food; and bitter wine for my drink.
²² Let their table before them be for their destruction; let their feasts become a net to take them.
²³ Let their eyes be blind so that they may not see; let their bodies for ever be shaking.
²⁴ Let your curse come on them; let the heat of your wrath overtake them.
²⁵ Give their houses to destruction, and let there be no one in their tents.
²⁶ Because they are cruel to him against whom your hand is turned; they make bitter the grief of him who is wounded by you.
²⁷ Let their punishment be increased; let them not come into your righteousness.
²⁸ Let their names be taken from the book of the living, let them not be numbered with the upright.
²⁹ But I am poor and full of sorrow; let me be lifted up by your salvation, O Lord.
³⁰ I will give praise to the name of God with a song; I will give glory to him for what he has done.
³¹ This will be more pleasing to the Lord than an ox, or a young ox of full growth.
³² The poor will see it and be glad: you who are lovers of God, let your hearts have life.
³³ For the ears of the Lord are open to the poor, and he takes thought for his prisoners.
³⁴ Let the heavens and the earth give praise to him, the seas, and everything moving in them.
³⁵ For God will be the saviour of Zion, and the builder of the towns of Judah; so that it may be their resting-place and heritage.
³⁶ The seed of his servants will have their part in it, and there the lovers of his name will have rest.
