Psalms 69:16-27

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.

²⁴Shed or Pour out thine ire or wrath on them; and the strong vengeance of thine ire take them.

²⁵The habitation of them be made forsaken; and be there none that dwell in the tabernacles of them.

²⁶For they pursued him, whom thou hast smitten; and they added on the sorrow of my wounds.

²⁷Add thou wickedness on the wickedness of them; and enter they not into thy rightwiseness.
