Psalms 69:21-36

21They also gave me gall for my food, And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

22Let their table become a snare before them, And their well-being a trap.

23Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see; And make their loins shake continually.

24Pour out Your indignation upon them, And let Your wrathful anger take hold of them.

25Let their dwelling place be desolate; Let no one live in their tents.

26For they persecute the ones You have struck, And talk of the grief of those You have wounded.

27Add iniquity to their iniquity, And let them not come into Your righteousness.

28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, And not be written with the righteous.

29But I am poor and sorrowful; Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.

30I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

31This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bull, Which has horns and hooves.

32The humble shall see this and be glad; And you who seek God, your hearts shall live.

33For the Lord hears the poor, And does not despise His prisoners.

34Let heaven and earth praise Him, The seas and everything that moves in them.

35For God will save Zion And build the cities of Judah, That they may dwell there and possess it.

36Also, the descendants of His servants shall inherit it, And those who love His name shall dwell in it.
