Psalm 69:9–19

9  For othe zeal of thine house hath eaten me up;

And pthe reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

10  When I wept, and chastened qmy soul with fasting,

That was to my reproach.

11  I made qrsackcloth also my garment;

And I became sa proverb to them.

12  They that sit in the gate speak against me;

And I was the tsong of the †drunkards.

13  But as for me, umy prayer is unto thee, O Lord, win an acceptable time:

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

14  Deliver me xout of the mire, and let me not ysink:

zLet me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the ydeep waters.

15  Let not the awaterflood overflow me,

Neither let athe deep swallow me up,

And let not bthe pit cshut her mouth upon me.

16  Hear me, O Lord; dfor thy lovingkindness is good:

eTurn unto me faccording to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

17  And ghide not thy face from thy servant;

For I ham in trouble: †ihear me speedily.

18  Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it:

Deliver me because of mine enemies.

19  Thou hast known jmy reproach, and kmy shame, and my dishonour:

Mine adversaries are all before thee.
