where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood 69:2 Ps. 124:4sweeps over me.

What I did not steal
must I now restore?
5O God, you know my folly;
the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
O Lord God of hosts;
let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me,
O God of Israel.
7For it is 69:7 Jer. 15:15; [Ps. 44:22]for your sake that I have borne reproach,

12I am the talk of those who 69:12 [Gen. 19:1; Esth. 2:19] sit in the gate,
and the drunkards make 69:12 See Job 30:9songs about me.
At 69:13 Isa. 49:8; 2 Cor. 6:2; [Ps. 32:6]an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
14Deliver me
from sinking in 69:14 ver. 2the mire;
69:14 Ps. 144:7let me be delivered from my enemies
and from 69:14 ver. 1, 2the deep waters.
15Let not the flood sweep over me,
or the deep swallow me up,

and those who love his name shall dwell in it.
