Psalms 69:16-24

¹⁶Hear me, O LORD! since great is thy loving-kindness; According to the abundance of thy tender mercies look upon me!

¹⁷Hide not thy face from thy servant; I am greatly distressed, O make haste to mine aid!

¹⁸Draw near to me, and redeem my life; Deliver me because of my enemies!

¹⁹Thou knowest my reproach, and dishonor, and shame; All my adversaries are in thy view!

²⁰Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness; I look for pity, but there is none; For comforters, but find none.

²¹For my food they give me gall, And in my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.

²²May their table be to them a snare; May it be a trap to them, while they are at ease!

²³May their eyes be darkened, that they may not see; And cause their loins continually to shake!

²⁴Pour out upon them thine indignation, And may the heat of thine anger overtake them!
