Psalm 69:19–33

¹⁹Thou hast known ^jmy reproach, and ^kmy shame, and my dishonour:

Mine adversaries are all before thee.

²⁰Reproach hath broken my heart; and ^lI am full of heaviness:

And ^mI looked for some ^†to take pity, but there was none;

And for ⁿcomforters, but I found none.

²¹They gave me also ^ogall for my meat;

And ^pin my thirst they gave me ^qvinegar to drink.

^22rLet their ^stable become a snare before them:

And that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

^23tLet their eyes be darkened, that they see not;

And ^umake their loins continually to shake.

²⁴Pour out thine indignation upon them,

And let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

^25xLet ^y†their habitation be desolate;

And ^†let none dwell in their tents.

²⁶For ^zthey persecute ^ahim whom thou hast smitten;

And they ^btalk to the grief of ^†those whom thou hast wounded.

^27cAdd ^||iniquity unto their iniquity:

And let them not come into thy righteousness.

²⁸Let them be blotted out of ^dthe book of the living,

And not be ^ewritten with the righteous.

²⁹But I am poor and sorrowful:

Let thy salvation, O God, ^fset me up on high.

³⁰I will praise the name of God with a song,

And will ^gmagnify him with ^hthanksgiving.

^31hThis also shall please the Lord better than an ox

Or bullock that hath horns and ⁱhoofs.

³²The ^k||humble shall see this, and be glad:

And ^lyour heart shall live that seek God.

³³For the Lord heareth the poor,

And ^mdespiseth not his prisoners.
