Berean Standard Bible

Psalms 69:21-36

21They poisoned my food with gall and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.

22May their table become a snare;may it be a retribution and a trap.123May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,and their backs be bent forever.224Pour out Your wrath upon them,and let Your burning anger overtake them.25May their place be deserted;let there be no one to dwell in their tents.326For they persecute the one You struckand recount the pain of those You wounded.27Add iniquity to their iniquity;let them not share in Your righteousness.28May they be blotted out of the Book of Lifeand not listed with the righteous.

29But I am in pain and distress;let Your salvation protect me, O God.30I will praise God’s name in songand exalt Him with thanksgiving.31And this will please the LORD more than an ox,more than a bull with horns and hooves.32The humble will see and rejoice.You who seek God, let your hearts be revived!33For the LORD listens to the needyand does not despise His captive people.

34Let heaven and earth praise Him,the seas and everything that moves in them.35For God will save Zionand rebuild the cities of Judah,that they may dwell there and possess it.36The descendants of His servants will inherit it,and those who love His name will settle in it.
