Psalm 69 | psalmimmersion

Psalm 69 is a disturbing lament from someone at the end of their rope.

They sing the sadness, anger and hope of a full life. Sing it for yourself, with your people or in solidarity with the suffering of the world.

But As For Me, O God (Psalm 69)

A cantor-congregation song of lament.

Refrain:
But as for me, O God, I turn to you
So answer me, O God, in your love

Verse 1:
I’ve been disgraced because of you, God.
And shame covers my face.
I'm a stranger to my own family.

Refrain

Verse 2:
Because of my passion for your house,
those who insult you have insulted me.
I was weeping, I was weeping while I fasted.
Even for my grieving I took abuse.
In my grief, people made fun of me,
singing mocking songs, spreading rumors about me.

Refrain

Verse 3:
O my God, save me from sinking down! Don't let me drown!
Rescue me from the rising waters of their hatred.
O my God, I'm almost swallowed up!
Don't let the terrorists overwhelm me!

Refrain

Verse 4:
Yes, answer me, Holy One of promise and love.
I'm in deep, deep trouble and I need your love!

Refrain
