Psalms 69:12-22

¹²They that sit in the gate talk of me, and I am the song of the drunkards.

¹³But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:

¹⁴Deliver me out of the mire, let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the depths of waters.

¹⁵Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

¹⁶Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy loving-kindness is good: according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, turn toward me;

¹⁷And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: answer me speedily.

¹⁸Draw nigh unto my soul, be its redeemer; ransom me because of mine enemies.

¹⁹Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

²⁰Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am overwhelmed: and I looked for sympathy, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

²¹Yea, they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

²²Let their table become a snare before them, and their very welfare a trap;
