Psalms 69:8-28
8I am become a stranger unto my brethren,And an alien unto my mother’s children.9For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up;And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.10When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting,That was to my reproachH2781.11When I made sackcloth my clothing,I becameH1961 a byword unto them.12They that sit in the gate talk of me;AndI amH1961the song of the drunkards.13But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time:O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness,Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.14Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink:Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.15Let not the waterflood overwhelm me,Neither let the deep swallow me up;And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.16Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good:According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.17And hide not thy face from thy servant;For I am in distress; answerH6030 me speedily.18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it:Ransom me because of mine enemies.19Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor:Mine adversaries are all before thee.20ReproachH2781 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 food;And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.22Let their table before them become a snare;And when they are in peace, let it become a trap.23Let their eyes beH1961 darkened, so that they cannot see;And make their loins continually to shake.24Pour out thine indignation upon them,And let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.25Let their habitation be desolate;Let none dwell in their tents.26For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten;And they tell of the sorrow 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 life,And not be written with the righteous.
