Psalms 68:17-28

¹⁷Hear me, O Lord; for thy mercy is good: According to the multitude of thy compassions look upon me.

¹⁸And turn not away thy face from thy servant; For I am afflicted: hear me speedily.

¹⁹Draw nigh to my soul and redeem it: Deliver me because of mine enemies.

²⁰For thou knowest my reproach, And my shame, and my confusion; All that afflict me are before thee.

²¹My soul has waited for reproach and misery; And I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; And for one to comfort me, but I found none.

²²They gave me also gall for my food, And made me drink vinegar for my thirst.

²³Let their table before them be for a snare, And for a recompense, and for a stumbling block.

²⁴Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; And bow down their back continually.

²⁵Pour out thy wrath upon them, And let the fury of thine anger take hold on them.

²⁶Let their habitation be made desolate; And let there be no inhabitant in their tents:

²⁷Because they persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; And they have added to the grief of my wounds.

²⁸Add iniquity to their iniquity; And let them not come into thy righteousness.
