16(69:17) Answer me, O Lord; for thy kindness is good: according to the multitude of thy mercies turn thou unto me.
17(69:18) And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress: make haste and answer me.
18(69:19) Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: because of my enemies do thou ransom me.
19(69:20) Thou well knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion: before thee are all my assailants.
20(69:21) Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sick; and I waited for pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21(69:22) And they put into my food gall; and in my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.

30(69:31) I will praise the name of God with song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31(69:32) And this will please the Lord better than an ox or bullock having horns and cloven hoofs.
32(69:33) The meek will see this, and be rejoiced: ye that seek God, and your heart shall revive.
33(69:34) For the Lord listeneth unto the needy, and his prisoners he despiseth not.
34(69:35) Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35(69:36) For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may abide there, and have it in possession:
