  2. Psalm 69:27 Hebrew may they not come into your righteousness

19 (A)“The Lord saw it and spurned them,
    because of the provocation of (B)his sons and his daughters.
20 And he said, (C)‘I will hide my face from them;
    I will see what their end will be,
for they are a perverse generation,
    children in whom is no faithfulness.
21 (D)They have made me jealous with what is no god;
    they have provoked me to anger (E)with their idols.
So (F)I will make them jealous with those who are no people;
    I will provoke them to anger with (G)a foolish nation.
22 For (H)a fire is kindled by my anger,
    and it burns to (I)the depths of Sheol,
devours the earth and its increase,
    and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.

23 “‘And I will heap disasters upon them;
    (J)I will spend my arrows on them;
24 they shall be wasted with hunger,
    and devoured by plague
    and poisonous pestilence;
I will send (K)the teeth of beasts against them,
    with the venom of (L)things that crawl in the dust.
25 (M)Outdoors the sword shall bereave,
    and indoors terror,
for young man and woman alike,
    the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
26 (N)I would have said, “I will cut them to pieces;
    (O)I will wipe them from human memory,”
27 had I not feared provocation by the enemy,
    lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
lest they should say, (P)“Our hand is triumphant,
    it was not the Lord who did all this.”’

28 “For they are a nation void of counsel,
    and there is (Q)no understanding in them.
29 (R)If they were wise, they would understand this;
    they would (S)discern their latter end!
30 How could (T)one have chased a thousand,
    and two have put ten thousand to flight,
unless their Rock (U)had sold them,
    and the Lord had given them up?
31 For (V)their rock is not as our Rock;
    (W)our enemies are by themselves.
32 For their vine (X)comes from the vine of Sodom
    and from the fields of Gomorrah;
their grapes are grapes of (Y)poison;
    their clusters are bitter;
33 their wine is the poison of (Z)serpents
    and the cruel venom of asps.

34 “‘Is not this laid up in store with me,
    (AA)sealed up in my treasuries?
35 (AB)Vengeance is mine, and recompense,[a]
    (AC)for the time when their foot shall slip;
for (AD)the day of their calamity is at hand,
    and their doom comes swiftly.’
36 For (AE)the Lord will vindicate[b] his people
    (AF)and have compassion on his servants,
when he sees that their power is gone
    and there is none remaining, (AG)bond or free.
37 Then he will say, (AH)‘Where are their gods,
    (AI)the rock in which they took refuge,
38 who ate the fat of their sacrifices
    and drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise up and help you;
    let them be your protection!

39 “‘See now that (AJ)I, even I, am he,
    and there is no god beside me;
(AK)I kill and I make alive;
    (AL)I wound and I heal;
    and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For (AM)I lift up my hand to heaven
    and swear, As I live forever,
41 if I (AN)sharpen my flashing sword[c]
    and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
    and will repay those who hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
    and (AO)my sword shall devour flesh—
with the blood of the slain and the captives,
    from the (AP)long-haired heads of the enemy.’

43 (AQ)“Rejoice with him, O heavens;[d]
    bow down to him, all gods,[e]
for he (AR)avenges the blood of his children[f]
    and takes vengeance on his adversaries.
He repays those who hate him[g]
    and cleanses[h] his people's land.”[i]
