Psalm 69:4-14 - Heartlight

⁴Those who hate me without cause

outnumber the hairs of my head;

many are those who would destroy me —

my enemies for no reason.

Though I did not steal,

I must repay.

⁵You know my folly, O God,

and my guilt is not hidden from You.

⁶May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me,

O Lord GOD of Hosts;

may those who seek You not be dishonored through me,

O God of Israel.

⁷For I have endured scorn for Your sake,

and shame has covered my face.

⁸I have become a stranger to my brothers

and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,

⁹because zeal for Your house has consumed me,

and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.

¹⁰I wept and fasted,

but it brought me reproach.

¹¹I made sackcloth my clothing,

and I was sport to them.

¹²Those who sit at the gate mock me,

and I am the song of drunkards.

¹³But my prayer to You, O LORD,

is for a time of favor.

In Your abundant loving devotion, O God,

answer me with Your sure salvation.

¹⁴Rescue me from the mire

and do not let me sink;

deliver me from my foes

and out of the deep waters.

— Psalm 69:4-14
