Psalms 69:12-23

¹²They, that sat in the gate, spake against me; and they, that drank wine, sang of me.

¹³But Lord, I dress my prayer to thee; God, I abide the time of good pleasance. Hear thou me in the multitude of thy mercy; in the truth of thine health.

¹⁴Deliver thou me from the clay, that I be not fast set-in; deliver thou me from them that hate me, and from the depths or deepness of waters.

¹⁵The tempest of water drench not me down, neither the depth swallow me; neither the pit make strait his mouth on me.

¹⁶Lord, hear thou me, for thy mercy is benign; after the multitude of thy merciful doings behold thou into me.

¹⁷And turn not away thy face from thy servant; for I am in tribulation, hear thou me swiftly.

¹⁸Give thou attention to my soul, and deliver thou it; for mine enemies, deliver thou me.

¹⁹Thou knowest my reproof, and my despising; and my shame. All that trouble me be in thy sight;

²⁰mine heart abode in shame, and wretchedness. And I abode him, that was sorry together with me, and none was; and that should comfort me, and I found not.

²¹And they gave gall into my meat; and in my thirst they gave to me drink with vinegar.

²²The board of them be made before them into a snare; and into yieldings, and into cause of stumbling.

²³Their eyes be made dark, that they see not; and evermore bow down the back of them.
