PSALMS 69:16-24

¹⁶Answer me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: according to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.

¹⁷And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.

¹⁸Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: 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 full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

²¹They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

²²Let their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, let it become a trap.

²³Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

²⁴Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.
