Psalms 68:16-26

¹⁶Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

¹⁷Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

¹⁸And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.

¹⁹Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my enemies.

²⁰Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.

²¹In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.

²²And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

²³Let their table become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.

²⁴Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and their back bend thou down always.

²⁵Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

²⁶Let their habitation be made desolate: and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles.
