Psalm 69:11–13

11 when I put on sackcloth,

people make sport of me.

12 Those who sit at the gate mock me,

and I am the song of the drunkards.

13 But I pray to you, Lord,

in the time of your favor;

in your great love, O God,

answer me with your sure salvation.

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 unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time:

O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

11 When I dress in burlap to show sorrow,

they make fun of me.

12 I am the favorite topic of town gossip,

and all the drunks sing about me.

13 But I keep praying to you, Lord,

hoping this time you will show me favor.

In your unfailing love, O God,

answer my prayer with your sure salvation.

11 I also made sackcloth my garment;

I became a byword to them.

12 Those who sit in the gate speak against me,

And I am the song of the drunkards.

13 But as for me, my prayer is to You,

O Lord, in the acceptable time;

O God, in the multitude of Your mercy,

Hear me in the truth of Your salvation.

11 When I wear clothes of sadness,

they joke about me.

12 They make fun of me in public places,

and the drunkards make up songs about me.

13 But I pray to you, Lord, for favor.

God, because of your great love, answer me.

You are truly able to save.

11 When I made sackcloth my clothing,

I became a byword unto them.

12 They that sit in the gate talk of me;

And I am the song of the drunkards.

13 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time:

O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness,

Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

11 And I made sackcloth my garment: then I became a proverb to them. 12 They that sit in the gate talk of me, and I am the song of the drunkards.

13 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:

11 I dressed myself in sackcloth, but I became the object of ridicule. 

12 Those who sit at the gate gossip about me, 

and drunkards make up songs about me. 

13 May my prayer come to you at an acceptable time, O Lord. 

O God, out of the greatness of your mercy, 

answer me with the truth of your salvation. 

11 I wore sackcloth as my clothing,

and I was a joke to them.

12 Those who sit at the city gate talk about me,

and drunkards make up songs about me.

13 But as for me, Lord,

my prayer to You is for a time of favor.

In Your abundant, faithful love, God,

answer me with Your sure salvation.

11 When I made sackcloth my clothing,

I became a byword to them.

12 I am the subject of gossip for those who sit in the gate,

and the drunkards make songs about me.

13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord.

At an acceptable time, O God,

in the abundance of your steadfast love, answer me.

With your faithful help

11 When I made sackcloth my clothing,

I became for them a byword.

12 Those sitting at the gate talk about me

as also the songs of the drunkards.

13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Yahweh, for a favorable time,

O God, according to the abundance of your loyal love.

Answer me with the faithfulness of your salvation.

11 When I put on black clothes to show how sad I am,

people make jokes about me.

12 Those who gather in public places make fun of me.

Those who get drunk make up songs about me.

13 But Lord, I pray to you.

May this be the time you show me your favor.

God, answer me because you love me so much.

Save me, as you always do.

11 When I made sackcloth my clothing,

I became a byword to them.

12 Those who sit in the gate talk about me,

And I am the song of the drunkards.

13 But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, at an acceptable time;

O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness,

Answer me with Your saving truth.
