Save Me, O God (EN 1189)

EN 1189 Save Me, O God

Ps.69.1

Versi Version 1

1

Save me, O God, because the floods

Come in upon my soul;

I sink in depths where none can stand;

Deep waters, o’er me roll.

2

My constant calling wearies me,

My throat is parched and dried,

My eyes grow dim while for my God

Still waiting I abide.

3

O God, my folly and my sin

Thy holy eye can see;

Yet save from shame, Lord God of hosts,

Thy saints that wait on Thee.

4

Forbid, O God, our covenant God,

That those who seek Thy face

Should see Thy servant put to shame

And share in my disgrace.

5

It is for Thee I am reproached,

For Thee I suffer shame,

Until my brethren know me not,

And hated is my name.

6

It is my zeal for Thine abode

That has consumed my life;

Reproached by those reproaching Thee,

I suffer in the strife.

7

I wept, with fasting bowed my soul,

Yet that was made my shame;

When I in sackcloth clothed myself,

Their byword I became.

8

The men who sit within the gate

With slander do me wrong,

And they who linger at their cups

Make me their jest and song.
