69:1Save me, O God; for the waters / Threaten my life.
Compare

69:2I sink in deep mire, / And there is no place to stand; / I have come to the depths of water, / And the flood flows over me.
Compare
-
69:3I am weary of my crying; / My throat is parched; / My eyes fail / While I wait for my God.
Compare

69:5O God, You know my foolishness, / And my sins of guilt are not hidden from You.
Compare

69:8I have become a stranger to my brothers, / And a foreigner to my mother's children.
Compare

69:9For the zeal of Your house has devoured me, / And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
Compare

69:10When I wept, when my soul was in fasting, / That became a reproach to me.
Compare
-
69:11When I made sackcloth my clothing, / I became a proverb to them.
Compare

69:12Those who sit in the gate talk about me, / And I am the mocking song of those who drink liquor.

69:21But they gave me gall for my food, / And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Compare

69:24Pour out Your indignation upon them; / And may the burning fierceness of Your anger overtake them.
Compare

-
69:26For they persecute him whom You have stricken, / And they recount the pain of those whom You have wounded.
Compare
-
69:27Add iniquity to their iniquity, / And do not let them come into Your righteousness.
Compare
-
69:28May they be blotted out of the book of life, / And may they not be written with the righteous.
Compare
-
69:29But I am poor and pained; / May Your salvation, O God, set me on high.
Compare
-
69:30I will praise the name of God with a song / And will magnify Him with thanksgiving;
Compare
-
69:31And it will be better to Jehovah than an ox / Or a bull with horns and hooves.
Compare
-
69:32The meek have seen it; they rejoice. / You who seek God, let your heart revive.
Compare

69:33For Jehovah listens to the needy, / And He does not despise His prisoners.
Compare
-
69:34Let the heavens and the earth praise Him, / The seas and everything that moves in them.
Compare
-
69:35For God will save Zion / And build the cities of Judah; / And they will abide there and possess it.
Compare
-
69:36And the seed of His servants will inherit it, / And those who love His name will dwell in it.
