  Speaker 1: Psalm sixty nine for the Chief Musician to the tune
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of Lilies by David. Save me, God, for the waters
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: have come up to my neck. I sink in deep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: mire where there is no foothold. I have come into
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: deep waters where the floods overflow me. I am weary
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: with my crying. My throat is dry, my eyes fail
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: looking for my God. Those who hate me without a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: are mighty. I have to restore what I did and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: take away. God, you know my foolishness. My sins aren't
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: hidden from you. Don't let those who wait for you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: be put to shame through me, Lord Jahweh of Host.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Don't let those who seek you be bought to dishonor
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: through me, God of Israel, Because for your sake I
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face. I have
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: mother's children. For the zeal of your house consumes me.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: When I wept and I fasted, that was to my reproach.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a by
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: word to them. Those who sit in the gate talk
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: about me. I am the song of the drunkards. But
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: as for me, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: an acceptable time, God, in the abundance of your loving kindness,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Answer me in the truth of your salvation. Deliver me
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: out of the mire, and don't let me sink. Let
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: me be delivered from those who hate me and out
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of the deep waters. Don't let the flood waters overwhelm me,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: neither let the deep swallow me up. Don't let the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: pit shut its mouth on me. Answer me, Yahweh, for
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: your loving kindness is good according to the multitude of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: your tender mercies. Turn to me. Don't hide your face
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: because of my enemies. You know, my reproach, my shame,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and my dishonor my adversaries are all before you. Reproach
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I look for some to take pity, but there was
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: none for comforters. But I found none. They also gave
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: me gall for my food and my thirst. They gave
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: me vinegar to drink. Let their table before them become
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Let their eyes be darkened so that they can't see.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Let their backs be continually bent. Pour out your indignation
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: their tents, for they persecute him whom you have wounded.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Charge them with crime upon crime. Don't let them come
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: into your righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: book of life and not be written with the righteous.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But I am in pain, in distress. Let your salvation
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: God protect me. I will praise the name of God
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. It
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: will please Yahweh better than an ox or a bull
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that has horns and hoofs. The humble have seen it
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and are glad, you who seek after God. Let your
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: heart live, for Yahweh hears the needy and doesn't despise
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: his captive people. Let heaven and earth praise him the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: seas and everything that moves therein. For God will save
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Zion and build the cities of Judah. They shall settle
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: there and own it. The children also of his servants
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein.
