Psalm 69:19–33

¹⁹You know my ^areproach and my shame and my dishonor;

All my adversaries are ¹before You.

²⁰Reproach has ^abroken my heart and I am so sick.

And ^bI looked for sympathy, but there was none,

And for ^ccomforters, but I found none.

²¹They also gave me ^1agall ²for my food

And for my thirst they ^bgave me vinegar to drink.

²²May ^atheir table before them become a snare;

And ^1bwhen they are in peace, may it become a trap.

²³May their ^aeyes grow dim so that they cannot see,

And make their ^bloins shake continually.

^24aPour out Your indignation on them,

And may Your burning anger overtake them.

²⁵May their ^1acamp be desolate;

May none dwell in their tents.

²⁶For they have ^apersecuted him whom ^bYou Yourself have smitten,

And they tell of the pain of those whom ^cYou have ¹wounded.

²⁷Add ^ainiquity to their iniquity,

And ^bmay they not come into ^cYour righteousness.

²⁸May they be ^ablotted out of the ^bbook of life

And may they not be ^1crecorded with the righteous.

²⁹But I am ^aafflicted and in pain;

¹May Your salvation, O God, ^bset me securely on high.

³⁰I will ^apraise the name of God with song

And ^bmagnify Him with ^cthanksgiving.

³¹And it will ^aplease the Lord better than an ox

Or a young bull with horns and hoofs.

³²The ^ahumble ¹have seen it and are glad;

You who seek God, ^blet your heart ²revive.

³³For ^athe Lord hears the needy

And ^bdoes not despise His who are prisoners.
