## Save Me, O God
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened my life.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
I have sunk in deep clay, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
I am weary with my calling out; my throat is parched; My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
Those who hate me without cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
O God, it is You who knows my folly, And all my guilt is not hidden from You.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
May those who hope for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord Yahweh of hosts; May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; Dishonor has covered my face.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
I have become estranged from my brothers And a foreigner to my mother's sons.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
When I wept in my soul with fasting, It became my reproach.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
Those who dwell at the gate moan about me, And I _am_ the drunkards' songs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Yahweh, at an acceptable time; O God, in the abundance of Your lovingkindness, Answer me with the truth of Your salvation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink; May I be delivered from my foes and from the deep waters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit shut its mouth on me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
Answer me, O Yahweh, for Your lovingkindness is good; According to the abundance of Your compassion, turn to me,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
And do not hide Your face from Your slave, For I am in distress; answer me quickly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
Oh draw near to my soul _and_ redeem it; Ransom me because of my enemies!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor; All my adversaries are before You.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick. And I hoped for sympathy, but there was none, And for comforters, but I found none.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
They also gave _me_ gall for my food And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
May their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, _may it become_ a trap.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
May their eyes darken so that they cannot see, And make their loins quake continually.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 24
|
||
|
|
Pour out Your indignation on them, And may Your burning anger overtake them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 25
|
||
|
|
May their camp be desolate; May none dwell in their tents.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 26
|
||
|
|
For they have persecuted him whom You Yourself have struck down, And they recount the pain of those whom You have wounded.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 27
|
||
|
|
Add iniquity to their iniquity, And may they not come into Your righteousness.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 28
|
||
|
|
May they be blotted out of the book of life And may they not be recorded with the righteous.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 29
|
||
|
|
But I am afflicted and in pain; May Your salvation, O God, set me _securely_ on high.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 30
|
||
|
|
I will praise the name of God with song And magnify Him with thanksgiving.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 31
|
||
|
|
And this will please Yahweh better than an ox _Or_ a young bull with horns and hoofs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 32
|
||
|
|
The humble see _it and_ are glad; You who seek God, let your heart revive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 33
|
||
|
|
For Yahweh hears the needy And does not despise His _who are_ prisoners.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 34
|
||
|
|
Let heaven and earth praise Him, The seas and everything that moves in them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 35
|
||
|
|
For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, That they may dwell there and possess it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 36
|
||
|
|
The seed of His slaves will inherit it, And those who love His name will dwell in it.
