Chapter 69

1For the leader. On shoshannim. Of David.

la-menatze-ACH al-sho-SHA-nim le-DA-vid

אלַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ עַֽל־שׁוֹשַׁנִּ֬ים לְדָוִֽד׃

2Deliver me, O Hashem, for the waters have reached my neck;

ho-SHI-e-NI e-lo-HIM, KI ba-U MA-yim ad-NA-fesh

בהוֹשִׁיעֵ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֤י בָ֖אוּ מַ֣יִם עַד־נָֽפֶשׁ׃

3I am sinking into the slimy deep and find no foothold; I have come into the watery depths; the flood sweeps me away.

4I am weary with calling; my throat is dry; my eyes fail while I wait for Hashem.

5More numerous than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without reason; many are those who would destroy me, my treacherous enemies. Must I restore what I have not stolen?

7Let those who look to You, O Hashem, God of hosts, not be disappointed on my account; let those who seek You, O God of Yisrael, not be shamed because of me.

8It is for Your sake that I have been reviled, that shame covers my face;

10My zeal for Your house has been my undoing; the reproaches of those who revile You have fallen upon me.

14As for me, may my prayer come to You, Hashem, at a favorable moment; O Hashem, in Your abundant faithfulness, answer me with Your sure deliverance.
