Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head.
Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty.
I have to restore what I didn’t take away.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 69:4 in context
Psalms 69:1–7
1
Save me, God,
for the waters have come up to my neck!
2
I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold.
I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3
I am weary with my crying.
My throat is dry.
My eyes fail looking for my God.
4
Selected verse
Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head.
Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty.
I have to restore what I didn’t take away.
5
God, you know my foolishness.
My sins aren’t hidden from you.
6
Don’t let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord GOD of Armies.
Don’t let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, God of Israel.
7
Because for your sake, I have borne reproach.
Shame has covered my face.
