Psalms 69:4-14 Those hating me were many above the hairs of my head: mine enemies destroying me by falsehood were strong: then I will turn back what I plucked not away.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Those hating me were many above the hairs of my head: mine enemies destroying me by falsehood were strong: then I will turn back what I plucked not away. ⁵ O God, thou knewest for my folly, and my faults were not hid from thee. ⁶ They waiting for thee shall not be ashamed for me: O Lord Jehovah of armies, they shall not be disgraced for me, seeking thee, O God of Israel. ⁷ Because for thee I bare reproach: shame covered my face. ⁸ I was polluted to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's sons. ⁹ For the zeal of thy house devoured me, and the reproaches of those reproaching thee fell upon me. ¹⁰ And I will weep with fasting of my soul, and it will be for reproaches to me. ¹¹ And I will give my clothing sackcloth, and I for a parable to them. ¹² They sitting in the gate will speak against me, and I was but the music of stringed instruments, of strong drink ¹³ And I, my prayer is to thee, O Jehovah, a time of acceptance: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy answer me, in the truth of thy salvation. ¹⁴ Deliver me from the mire and I shall not sink: I shall be delivered from those hating me, and from the depths of waters.
