68:19Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

68:20He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.

68:21But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

68:22The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

68:23That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

68:24They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

68:25The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

68:26Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

68:27There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

68:28Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

68:29Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

68:30Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.

68:31Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

68:32Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:

68:33To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

68:34Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.

68:35O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

69:1(To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David.) Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

69:2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

69:3I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

69:4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

69:5O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

69:6Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

69:7Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

69:8I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.

69:9For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

69:10When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

69:11I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.

69:12They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

69:13But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

69:14Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

69:15Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

69:16Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

69:17And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

69:18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

69:19Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

69:20Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

69:21They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

69:22Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

69:23Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

69:24Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

69:25Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.

69:26For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

69:27Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.

69:28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

69:29But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

69:30I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

69:31This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

69:32The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

69:33For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
