Psalms 69:8-28
8I have become 1estranged 2from my brothers And an alien to my mother’s sons.9For 3zeal for Your house has consumed me, And 4the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.10When I wept 5in my soul with fasting, It became my reproach.11When I made 6sackcloth my clothing, I became 7a byword to them.12Those who 8sit in the gate talk about me, And I am the 910song of the drunkards.
13But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, 11at an acceptable time; O God, in the 12greatness of Your lovingkindness, Answer me with 13Your saving truth.14Deliver me from the 14mire and do not let me sink; May I be 15delivered from 16my foes and from the 1718deep waters.15May the 1920flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the 21pit shut its mouth on me.
16Answer me, O Lord, for 22Your lovingkindness is good; 23According to the greatness of Your compassion, 24turn to me,17And 25do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am 26in distress; answer me quickly.18Oh draw near to my soul and 27redeem it; 28Ransom me because of my enemies!19You know my 29reproach and my shame and my dishonor; All my adversaries are 30before You.
20Reproach has 31broken my heart and I am so sick. And 32I looked for sympathy, but there was none, And for 33comforters, but I found none.21They also gave me 3435gall 36for my food And for my thirst they 37gave me vinegar to drink.
22May 38their table before them become a snare; And 3940when they are in peace, may it become a trap.23May their 41eyes grow dim so that they cannot see, And make their 42loins shake continually.2443Pour out Your indignation on them, And may Your burning anger overtake them.25May their 4445camp be desolate; May none dwell in their tents.26For they have 46persecuted him whom 47You Yourself have smitten, And they tell of the pain of those whom 48You have 49wounded.27Add 50iniquity to their iniquity, And 51may they not come into 52Your righteousness.28May they be 53blotted out of the 54book of life And may they not be 5556recorded with the righteous.
