Psalms 69:8-28
8I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,9because zeal for Your house has consumed me,1 and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.210I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach.11I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them.12Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards.
13But my prayer to You, O LORD,is for a time of favor.In Your abundant loving devotion, O God,answer me with Your sure salvation.14Rescue me from the mireand do not let me sink;deliver me from my foesand out of the deep waters.15Do not let the floods engulf meor the depths swallow me up;let not the Pit close its mouth over me.16Answer me, O LORD,for Your loving devotion is good;turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion.17Hide not Your face from Your servant,for I am in distress.Answer me quickly!18Draw near to my soul and redeem me;ransom me because of my foes.
19You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace.All my adversaries are before You.20Insults have broken my heart,and I am in despair.I looked for sympathy, but there was none,for comforters, but I found no one.21They poisoned my food with galland gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.
22May their table become a snare;may it be a retribution and a trap.323May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,and their backs be bent forever.424Pour 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.526For 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.
