Psalms 69:19-35

¹⁹Thou hast known 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 become a snare before them: And that which should have been for their welfare, 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 thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

²⁵Let their habitation be desolate; And let none dwell in their tents.

²⁶For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; And they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

²⁷Add iniquity unto their iniquity: And let them not come into thy righteousness.

²⁸Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, And not be written with the righteous.

²⁹But I am poor and sorrowful: Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

³⁰I will praise the name of God with a song; And will magnify him with thanksgiving.

³¹This also shall please the Lord better than an ox Or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

³²The humble shall see this, and be glad: And your heart shall live that seek God.

³³For the Lord heareth the poor, And despiseth not his prisoners.

³⁴Let the heaven and earth praise him, The seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

³⁵For God will save Zion, And will build the cities of Judah: That they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
