መዝሙር 69
እንጕርጕሮ
ለመዘምራን አለቃ፤ “በጽጌረዳ” ዜማ፤ የዳዊት መዝሙር።
1አምላክ ሆይ፤ አድነኝ፤
ውሃ እስከ ዐንገቴ ደርሶብኛልና።
2የእግር መቆሚያ በሌለው፣
በጥልቅ ረግረግ ውስጥ ሰጥሜአለሁ፤
ወደ ጥልቅ ውሃ ገባሁ፤
ሞገዱም አሰጠመኝ።
3በጩኸት ደከምሁ፤
ጉረሮዬም ደረቀ፤
አምላኬን በመጠባበቅ፣
ዐይኖቼ ፈዘዙ።
4ያለ ምክንያት የሚጠሉኝ፣
ከራሴ ጠጕር በዙ፤
ሕይወቴን ለማጥፋት የሚፈልጉ፣
በከንቱም የሚጠሉኝ ብዙዎች ሆኑ፤
ያልሰረቅሁትን ነገር፣
መልሰህ አምጣ ተባልሁ።
5እግዚአብሔር ሆይ፤ አንተ ሞኝነቴን ታውቃለህ፤
በደሌም ከአንተ የተሰወረ አይደለም።
6ጌታ የሰራዊት አምላክ ሆይ፤
አንተን ተስፋ የሚያደርጉ፣
በእኔ ምክንያት አይፈሩ፤
የእስራኤል አምላክ ሆይ፤
አንተን አጥብቀው የሚሹ፣
ከእኔ የተነሣ አይዋረዱ።
7ስለ አንተ ስድብን ታግሻለሁና፤
ዕፍረትም ፊቴን ሸፍኗልና።
8ለወንድሞቼ እንደ ባዕድ፣
ለእናቴም ልጆች እንደ እንግዳ ሆንሁባቸው።
9የቤትህ ቅናት በላችኝ፤
የሚሰድቡህም ስድብ በላዬ ዐርፏል።
10ነፍሴን በጾም ባስመረርሁ ጊዜ፣
እነርሱ ሰደቡኝ።
11ማቅ በለበስሁ ጊዜ፣
መተረቻ አደረጉኝ።
12በቅጥሩ ደጅ ለሚቀመጡት የመነጋገሪያ ርእስ፣
ለሰካራሞችም መዝፈኛ ሆንሁ።
13እግዚአብሔር ሆይ፤ እኔ ግን በወደድኸው ሰዓት፣
ወደ አንተ እጸልያለሁ፤
አምላክ ሆይ፤ በታላቅ ምሕረትህ፣
በማዳንህም ርግጠኝነት መልስልኝ።
14ከረግረግ አውጣኝ፤
እሰጥም ዘንድ አትተወኝ፤
ከጥልቅ ውሃ፣
ከእነዚያ ከሚጠሉኝ ታደገኝ።
15ጐርፍ አያጥለቅልቀኝ፤
ጥልቅ ውሃም አይዋጠኝ፤
ጕድጓዱም ተደርምሶ አይዘጋብኝ።
16እግዚአብሔር ሆይ፤ ምሕረትህ በጎ ናትና ስማኝ፤
እንደ ርኅራኄም ብዛት መለስ በልልኝ።
17ፊትህን ከባሪያህ አትሰውር፤
ጭንቅ ውስጥ ነኝና ፈጥነህ መልስልኝ።
18ወደ እኔ ቀርበህ ታደገኝ፤
ስለ ጠላቶቼም ተቤዠኝ።
19የደረሰብኝን ስድብ፣ ዕፍረትና ውርደት ታውቃለህ፤
ጠላቶቼንም አንድ በአንድ ታውቃቸዋለህ።
20ስድብ ልቤን ጐድቶታል፤
ተስፋዬም ተሟጥጧል፤
አስተዛዛኝ ፈለግሁ፤ አላገኘሁምም፤
አጽናኝም ፈለግሁ፤ አንድም አልነበረም።
21ምግቤን ከሐሞት ቀላቀሉ፤
ለጥማቴም ሆምጣጤ ሰጡኝ።
22የቀረበላቸው ማእድ ወጥመድ ይሁንባቸው፤
ለማኅበራቸውም አሽክላ ይሁን።
23ዐይኖቻቸው እንዳያዩ ይጨልሙ፤
ጀርባቸውም ዘወትር ይጕበጥ።
24መዓትህን በላያቸው አፍስስ፤
የቍጣህም መቅሠፍት ድንገት ይድረስባቸው።
25ሰፈራቸው ባድማ ይሁን፤
በድንኳኖቻቸው የሚኖር አይገኝ፤
26አንተ የመታሃቸውን አሳድደዋልና፤
ያቈሰልሃቸውንም ሥቃያቸውን አባብሰዋል።
27በበደላቸው በደል ጨምርባቸው፤
ወደ ጽድቅህም አይግቡ።
28ከሕይወት መጽሐፍ ይደምሰሱ፤
ከጻድቃንም ጋር አይጻፉ።
29ነገር ግን እኔ በሥቃይና በጭንቅ ላይ እገኛለሁ፤
አምላክ ሆይ፤ ማዳንህ ደግፎ ይያዘኝ።
30የእግዚአብሔርን ስም በዝማሬ አወድሳለሁ፤
በምስጋናም ከፍ ከፍ አደርገዋለሁ።
31ከበሬ ይልቅ፣
ቀንድና ጥፍር ካበቀለ እንቦሳ ይልቅ ይህ እግዚአብሔርን ደስ ያሰኘዋል።
32ድኾች ይህን ያያሉ፤ ደስም ይላቸዋል፤
እናንተ እግዚአብሔርን የምትሹ ልባችሁ ይለምልም!
33እግዚአብሔር ችግረኞችን ይሰማልና፤
በእስራት ያለውንም ሕዝቡን አይንቅም።
34ሰማይና ምድር፣ ባሕርም፣
በውስጣቸውም የሚንቀሳቀስ ሁሉ ያመስግኑት።
35እግዚአብሔር ጽዮንን ያድናታልና፤
የይሁዳንም ከተሞች መልሶ ይሠራቸዋልና፤
ሕዝቡም በዚያ ይሰፍራል፤ ይወርሳታልም።
36የባሪያዎቹም ዘሮች ይወርሷታል፤
ስሙንም የሚወድዱ በዚያ ይኖራሉ።
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David.
1Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.69.2 deep mire: Heb. the mire of depth69.2 deep waters: Heb. depth of waters
3I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
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.
5O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.69.5 sins: Heb. guiltiness
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.
7Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
8I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
9For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
10When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
12They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.69.12 drunkards: Heb. drinkers of strong drink
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.
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.
15Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
17And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.69.17 hear…: Heb. make haste to hear me
18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
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.69.20 to take…: Heb. to lament with me
21They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.69.25 their habitation: Heb. their palace69.25 let none…: Heb. let there not be a dweller
26For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.69.26 those…: Heb. thy wounded
27Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.69.27 iniquity unto…: or, punishment of iniquity, etc
28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.69.32 humble: or, meek
33For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.69.34 moveth: Heb. creepeth
35For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
