No. 69 of the Psalms—King James Version (KJV)

  1. ¶ Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
  2. ¶ I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
  3. ¶ I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
  4. ¶ They 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.
  5. ¶ O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
  6. ¶ Let 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.
  7. ¶ Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
  8. ¶ I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
  9. ¶ For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
  10. ¶ When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
  11. ¶ I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
  12. ¶ They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
  13. ¶ But 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.
  14. ¶ Deliver 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.
  15. ¶ Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
  16. ¶ Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
  17. ¶ And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
  18. ¶ Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
  19. ¶ Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
  20. ¶ Reproach 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.
  21. ¶ They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
  22. ¶ Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
  23. ¶ Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
  24. ¶ Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
  25. ¶ Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
  26. ¶ For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
  27. ¶ Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
  28. ¶ Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
  29. ¶ But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
  30. ¶ I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
  31. This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
  32. ¶ The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
  33. ¶ For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
  34. ¶ Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
  35. ¶ For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
  36. ¶ The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
