Highlights
- Vs 1 – 4 It appears God is not listening to the Psalmist’s prayers as he cried out to God for help; he is waiting patiently for God to deliver him from his enemies;
- He still praise God and glorify Him vs 30, 34
Psalms 69:1-4,17-19,28-32,34
[1]Save me, O God! The water is up to my neck;
[2]I am sinking in deep mud, and there is no solid ground; I am out in deep water, and the waves are about to drown me.
[3]I am worn out from calling for help, and my throat is aching. I have strained my eyes, looking for your help.
[4]Those who hate me for no reason are more numerous than the hairs of my head. My enemies tell lies against me; they are strong and want to kill me. They made me give back things I did not steal.
[17]Don’t hide yourself from your servant; I am in great trouble — answer me now!
[18]Come to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.
[19]You know how I am insulted, how I am disgraced and dishonoured; you see all my enemies.
[28]May their names be erased from the book of the living; may they not be included in the list of your people.
[29]But I am in pain and despair; lift me up, O God, and save me!
[30]I will praise God with a song; I will proclaim his greatness by giving him thanks.
[31]This will please the Lord more than offering him cattle, more than sacrificing a full-grown bull.
[32]When the oppressed see this, they will be glad; those who worship God will be encouraged.
[34]Praise God, O heaven and earth, seas and all creatures in them.
