1Save me, O God,[#vv 14, 15]
for the waters have come up to my neck.
2I sink in deep mire,[#Ps 40.2; Jon 2.3]
where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood sweeps over me.
3I am weary with my crying;[#Ps 6.6; 119.82; Isa 38.14]
my throat is parched.
My eyes grow dim
with waiting for my God.
4More in number than the hairs of my head[#Ps 35.11, 19; 38.19; Jn 15.25]
are those who hate me without cause;
many are those who would destroy me,
my enemies who accuse me falsely.
What I did not steal,
must I now restore?
5O God, you know my folly;[#Ps 38.5; 44.21]
the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
6Do not let those who hope in you be put to shame because of me,
O Lord God of hosts;
do not let those who seek you be dishonored because of me,
O God of Israel.
7It is for your sake that I have borne reproach,[#Jer 15.15]
that shame has covered my face.
8I have become a stranger to my kindred,[#Ps 31.11; Isa 53.3]
an alien to my mother’s children.
9It is zeal for your house that has consumed me;[#Ps 89.50; Jn 2.17]
the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.
10When I humbled my soul with fasting,[#Ps 35.13; #69.10 Gk Syr: Heb I wept, with fasting my soul , or I made my soul mourn with fasting]
they insulted me for doing so.
11When I made sackcloth my clothing,[#Ps 35.13; Jer 24.9]
I became a byword to them.
12I am the subject of gossip for those who sit in the gate,[#Job 30.9]
and the drunkards make songs about me.
13But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord .[#Ps 51.1; Isa 49.8; 2 Cor 6.2]
At an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast love, answer me.
With your faithful help
14rescue me[#v 2; Ps 144.7]
from sinking in the mire;
let me be delivered from my enemies
and from the deep waters.
15Do not let the flood sweep over me[#Num 16.33; Ps 124.4, 5]
or the deep swallow me up
or the Pit close its mouth over me.
16Answer me, O Lord , for your steadfast love is good;[#Ps 25.16; 51.1; 63.3]
according to your abundant mercy, turn to me.
17Do not hide your face from your servant,[#Ps 27.9; 66.14]
for I am in distress—make haste to answer me.
18Draw near to me; redeem me;
set me free because of my enemies.
19You know the insults I receive[#Ps 22.6, 7; Isa 53.3]
and my shame and dishonor;
my foes are all known to you.
20Insults have broken my heart,[#Job 16.2; Isa 63.5; Jer 23.9]
so that I am in despair.
I looked for pity, but there was none;
and for comforters, but I found none.
21They gave me poison for food,[#Mt 27.34; Jn 19.29]
and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22Let their table be a trap for them,[#Rom 11.9, 10]
a snare for their allies.
23Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,[#Isa 6.9, 10; Dan 5.6]
and make their loins tremble continually.
24Pour out your indignation upon them,[#Ps 79.6]
and let your burning anger overtake them.
25May their camp be a desolation;[#Mt 23.38; Acts 1.20]
let no one live in their tents.
26For they persecute those whom you have struck down,[#Isa 53.4]
and those whom you have wounded they attack still more.
27Add guilt to their guilt;
may they have no acquittal from you.
28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living;[#Ex 32.32; Phil 4.3]
let them not be enrolled among the righteous.
29But I am lowly and in pain;[#Ps 59.1; 70.5]
let your salvation, O God, protect me.
30I will praise the name of God with a song;[#Ps 28.7; 34.3; 50.14]
I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31This will please the Lord more than an ox[#Ps 50.13, 14]
or a bull with horns and hoofs.
32Let the oppressed see it and be glad;[#Ps 22.26; 34.2]
you who seek God, let your hearts revive.
33For the Lord hears the needy[#Ps 68.6]
and does not despise his own who are in bonds.
34Let heaven and earth praise him,[#Ps 96.11; 148.1; Isa 44.23; 49.13]
the seas and everything that moves in them.
35For God will save Zion[#Ps 51.18; Isa 44.26]
and rebuild the cities of Judah,
and his servants shall live there and possess it;
36the children of his servants shall inherit it,[#Ps 37.29; 102.28]
and those who love his name shall live in it.
