Psalm 69
Brenton Septuagint Translation
Chapter overview
Psalm 69 voices the exhaustion of someone sinking beneath hostility, shame, and false accusation. Zeal has brought reproach, yet the sufferer appeals for timely rescue and trusts that praise from the poor will outlast contempt and restore hope.
LamentReproachRescueHope
1For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me.
2Draw nigh, O God, to my help.
3Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.
4Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.
5Let all that seek thee exult and be glad in thee: and let those that love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
6But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: thou art my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.
