Psalms 69:17-26

¹⁷Do not hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress; answer me quickly.

¹⁸Come to me and redeem me. Because of my enemies, ransom me.

¹⁹You know my rebuke, my shame, and my dishonor; my adversaries are all before you.

²⁰Rebuke has broken my heart; I am full of heaviness; I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none; I looked for comforters, but I found none.

²¹They gave me poison for my food; in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

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

²³Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see; and always make their loins shake.

²⁴Pour out your indignation on them, and let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.

²⁵Let their place be a desolation; let no one live in their tents.

²⁶For they persecuted the one you struck down. They repeated the account of the pain of those you have wounded.
