Psalms 69:4-14 They who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they who would destroy me are mighty, my lying enemies; then I restored what I did not take by violence.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ They who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they who would destroy me are mighty, my lying enemies; then I restored what I did not take by violence. ⁵ O God, You know my foolishness, and my guiltiness is not hidden from You. ⁶ O Jehovah of hosts, do not let those who wait on You be ashamed for my sake; let not the ones who seek You be ashamed for my sake, O God of Israel. ⁷ Because I suffered reproach for Your sake, shame has covered my face. ⁸ I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother's children. ⁹ For the zeal of Your house has consumed Me; and the reproaches of the ones who reproach You have fallen on Me. ¹⁰ When I humbled my soul with fasting, it also was to my reproach; ¹¹ I also made sackcloth my clothing, and I became a mockery to them. ¹² They who sit in the gate spoke of me; and I was the song of drunkards. ¹³ But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Jehovah, at a time of favor, O God! in the plentitude of Your mercy answer me, in the truth of Your salvation. ¹⁴ Deliver me out of the mire, that I may not sink; let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.
