Psalm Chapter 69

Ps 69

Eminent for Seven lilies by David. (it was indeed a time of flooding problem) 

1 just as our leaders (Elohim) went through the waters, and their souls were saved; 

2 even our status (now) is like we are going to a deep place, to sink in mud - when water is gushing forth out of the depth unto 'the ears of our corns' (shibboleth). 

3 we are tired of calling out - our throat get hot/burn, for all eyes have come to the end of hoping in our leaders (elohay).

4 our enemies like myriad of hairs on the head, hate us without cause. They are robbing us because they are strong and we are at a crossroad where, to be restored (seems to be) a lie/sham. 

5 it is foolishness for all our leaders (elohim), to deny knowing our state of being guilty.

6 we have been taunted and put to shame. So, all the leaders (elohim) of IsraEl should seek after Jehovah of heavenly Army (Sabaoth) and expect/hope in Adonay.

7 - let us lift up our faces, for our reproach and disgrace to be covered up.

8 brothers are like strangers, and sons of our mother are like aliens. 

9 and we fall down before those who spitefully use us. So, because of the reproach, the zeal for YOUR house consume us (Jh 2:17).

10 because of the reproach, all souls wept, and fast.

11 sackcloth was our garments, and we were given a proverb:

12 "those who have been playing musical instruments conversing with oneself, are (now) sitting down at the gate, drinking alcoholic liquor".

13 Jehovah of elohim will answer our intercession in HIS abundant kindness and according to HIS will/delight and Truth, there will be all-round salvation in due time:

14 deliver us from sinking into clayey-mire and depth of waters. Deliver us from those who hate us:

15 close up the depth of water and the mouth of well-water/pit from gushing and swallowing up the ears of our corns (shibboleth) :

16 it is good to turn to Jehovah, for HE will answer us - in HIS abundant kindness and compassion:

17 but HIS servants are hiding their faces, rather than quickly responding to those who besieged them.

18 let us come near to redeem all souls, even to ransom them from the enemies:

19 we know the reproach, and the shame, even the disgrace of being besieged:

20 - the reproach of broken heart, - the distress of hoping and traveling to find comfort.

21 we are given poisonous food - like gall and vinegar to quaff our thirst (Matt 27:34, 48, Jh 19:29).

22 they spread out table before us as snares and their things of prosperous peace are for a trap;

23 what all eyes see as free-gifts, are things we continually totter/lose balance from, when it is dark:

24 things they pour out for us are for them to overtake us with indignation, anger and fierceness.

25 they sit down in their castles, while our tents are appalling/devastated:

26 they persecute and smite us while we are making space to reckon those in anguish;

27 they go from iniquity to iniquity, as if, it will give them righteousness:

28 blot them out of the book of Life, in which the Righteous (tsadiyq) are written:

29 In salvation of the depressed ones who are in pain shall the leaders (elohim) be lofty for a refuge.

30 let all our leaders (Elohim) praise HIS Name with songs, and magnify HIM by extension of hands in thanksgiving:

31 financial capital/fund (keren) will do them well, rather than spliting/dividing of cow and bullocks for Jehovah.

32 let all leaders (Elohim) seek after HIM and the meek in heart will see and rejoice to live.

33 Jehovah will listen to the poor, and the captives that were disesteemed/despised:

34 praise HIM for things that move/creep on the land, in the sky and in the seas:

35 all Leaders (elohim) of Judah shall be saved, and will sit down on mount Zion and they will build the city and occupy it;

36 all offsprings of HIS servant who love HIS Name will inherit and dwell in her.
