Psalms 69:3 · BSB · Tamil Scripture

The Waters Are up to My Neck

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David.

Save me, O God, Isa 43:2 Psa 69:14-15 Lam 3:54 Jon 2:3-5 Psa 42:7 Psa 69:2 Rev 12:15-16 Rev 17:15

for the waters are up to my neck.

I have sunk into the miry depths, Psa 40:2 Mat 7:25 Jer 38:6 Psa 32:6 Psa 88:6-7 Jer 38:22 Gen 7:17-23 Mat 26:37-38

where there is no footing;

I have drifted into deep waters,

where the flood engulfs me.

I am weary from my crying; Psa 6:6 Isa 38:14 Psa 119:123 Psa 119:82 Deu 28:32 Psa 25:21 Heb 5:7 Jhn 19:28

my throat is parched.

My eyes fail,

looking for my God.

Those who hate me without cause Jhn 15:25 Psa 35:19 Psa 109:3-5 Psa 35:11-12 2Co 5:21 Isa 53:4-7 Psa 38:19-20 Psa 40:12

outnumber the hairs of my head;

many are those who would destroy me—

my enemies for no reason. ¹

Though I did not steal,

I must repay.

You know my folly, O God, Psa 38:9 Jer 16:17 Psa 17:3 Psa 19:12 Psa 38:5 Psa 44:20-21

and my guilt is not hidden from You.

May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me, Psa 25:3 Psa 35:26 Luk 24:19-21 Isa 49:23 Psa 72:18 Psa 7:7 2Sa 23:3 Act 13:23

O Lord GOD of Hosts;

may those who seek You not be dishonored through me,

O God of Israel.

For I have endured scorn for Your sake, Isa 50:6 Jer 15:15 Psa 44:22 Heb 12:2 Isa 53:3 Jhn 15:21-24 Luk 23:11 Luk 23:35-37

and shame has covered my face.

I have become a stranger to my brothers Psa 31:11 Jhn 1:11 Jhn 7:5 Mat 10:35-36 Mat 26:70-74 Mic 7:5-6 Psa 38:11 1Sa 17:28

and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,

because zeal for Your house has consumed me, ² Rom 15:3 Jhn 2:14-17 Psa 119:139 Mrk 11:15-17 1Ki 19:10 Psa 89:41 Psa 89:50-51 1Ch 29:3

and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me. ³

I wept and fasted, Luk 7:33-34 Psa 102:8-9 Psa 109:24-25 Psa 35:13

but it brought me reproach.

I made sackcloth my clothing, 1Ki 9:7 Jer 24:9 Job 17:6 Deu 28:37 Isa 20:2 Isa 22:12 Jol 1:8 Psa 35:13-14

and I was sport to them.

Those who sit at the gate mock me, Act 4:26-27 Psa 35:15-16 Mat 27:41-42 Dan 5:2-4 Dan 5:23 Deu 16:18 Gen 19:1 Job 30:8-9

and I am the song of drunkards.

But my prayer to You, O LORD, 2Co 6:2 Isa 49:8 Psa 55:16-17 Psa 91:15 Isa 55:6 Psa 40:10-11 1Pe 2:23 1Sa 25:8

is for a time of favor.

In Your abundant loving devotion, O God,

answer me with Your sure salvation.

Rescue me from the mire Psa 144:7 Jer 38:6-13 Psa 109:21 Psa 69:1-2 Lam 3:55 Luk 19:14 Luk 19:27 Mrk 14:34-42

and do not let me sink;

deliver me from my foes

and out of the deep waters.

Do not let the floods engulf me Rev 12:15-16 Act 2:24 Isa 43:1-2 Jon 2:2-7 Psa 16:10 Act 2:31 Num 16:33-34 Psa 124:4-5

or the depths swallow me up;

let not the Pit close its mouth over me.

Answer me, O LORD, Psa 109:21 Psa 25:16 Psa 63:3 Mic 7:19 Psa 106:45 Psa 26:11 Psa 69:13 Psa 51:1

for Your loving devotion is good;

turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion.

Hide not Your face from Your servant, Psa 27:9 Psa 102:2 Mat 27:46 Psa 143:9 Psa 70:1 Psa 13:1 Psa 44:24 Psa 66:14

for I am in distress.

Answer me quickly!

Draw near to my soul and redeem me; Psa 111:9 Psa 22:1 Psa 22:19 Psa 49:15 Deu 32:27 Jer 14:8 Job 6:23 Jos 7:9

ransom me because of my foes.

You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace. Heb 12:2 Isa 53:3 1Pe 2:23 Psa 2:2-4 Psa 38:9 Jhn 8:49 Psa 69:7-9 Psa 22:6-7

All my adversaries are before You.

Insults have broken my heart, Isa 63:5 Job 16:2 Psa 142:4 Mrk 14:50 Mat 26:56 2Ti 4:16-17 Jhn 12:27 Jhn 16:32

and I am in despair.

I looked for sympathy, but there was none,

for comforters, but I found no one.

They poisoned my food with gall Mat 27:34 Luk 23:36 Mrk 15:23 Mat 27:48 Mrk 15:36 Jhn 19:28-30 Jer 9:15 Jer 8:14

and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.

May their table become a snare; 1Th 5:3 Rom 11:8-10 1Pe 2:8 Isa 8:14-15 Pro 1:32 Mal 2:2

may it be a retribution and a trap. ⁴

May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, Dan 5:6 Rom 11:10 Isa 6:9-10 2Co 3:14 Act 28:26-27 Isa 21:3-4 Jer 30:6 Deu 28:65-67

and their backs be bent forever. ⁵

Pour out Your wrath upon them, Psa 79:6 Hos 5:10 Rev 16:1 Luk 21:22 1Th 2:15-16 Deu 28:15-68 Deu 29:18-28 Deu 31:17

and let Your burning anger overtake them.

May their place be deserted; Act 1:20 Mat 23:38 Jer 7:12-14 Isa 6:11 Luk 13:35 1Ki 9:8 Mat 24:1-2 Isa 5:1

let there be no one to dwell in their tents. ⁶

For they persecute the one You struck Isa 53:4 Mrk 15:27-32 Zec 1:15 Isa 53:10 1Th 2:15 2Ch 28:9 Zec 13:7 Job 19:21-22

and recount the pain of those You wounded.

Add iniquity to their iniquity; Isa 26:10 Neh 4:5 Rom 1:28 Rev 22:10-11 2Th 2:11-12 2Ti 4:14 Rom 10:2-3 Exo 8:15

let them not share in Your righteousness.

May they be blotted out of the Book of Life Exo 32:32-33 Luk 10:20 Php 4:3 Ezk 13:9 Rev 13:8 Rev 20:12-15 Heb 12:23 Rev 22:19

and not listed with the righteous.

But I am in pain and distress; Psa 91:14-16 Psa 40:17 Psa 109:22 Psa 70:5 2Co 8:9 Eph 1:21-22 Isa 53:2-3 Php 2:9-11

let Your salvation protect me, O God.

I will praise God’s name in song Psa 28:7 Psa 118:28-29 Psa 34:3 Psa 40:1-3 Psa 118:21 Psa 50:14

and exalt Him with thanksgiving.

And this will please the LORD more than an ox, Heb 13:15 Psa 50:13-14 1Pe 2:5 Eph 5:19-20 Psa 50:23 Hos 14:2

more than a bull with horns and hooves.

The humble will see and rejoice. Jhn 16:22 Psa 22:26 Isa 55:6-7 Isa 61:1-3 Psa 34:2 Psa 25:9 Jhn 20:20 Psa 22:29

You who seek God, let your hearts be revived!

For the LORD listens to the needy Act 5:18-19 Psa 68:6 Zec 9:11-12 Rev 2:10 Luk 4:18 Psa 146:7 Eph 3:1 Psa 12:5

and does not despise His captive people.

Let heaven and earth praise Him, Isa 49:13 Psa 150:6 Psa 96:11 Isa 55:12 Isa 44:22-23 Psa 148:1-14 Psa 98:7-8 Rev 7:11-13

the seas and everything that moves in them.

For God will save Zion Isa 44:26 Isa 46:13 Psa 51:18 Oba 1:17 Psa 102:16 Psa 48:11-13 Ezk 36:35-36 Rev 14:1

and rebuild the cities of Judah,

that they may dwell there and possess it.

The descendants of His servants will inherit it, Psa 102:28 Act 2:39 Jas 1:12 Psa 37:29 Isa 61:9 Jhn 14:23 Jas 2:5 Psa 91:14

and those who love His name will settle in it.
