Psalm 69:19-29

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁹⁽¹⁸⁾Come near to me, and redeem me;
ransom me because of my enemies.

²⁰⁽¹⁹⁾You know how I am insulted,
shamed and disgraced;
before you stand all my foes.
²¹⁽²⁰⁾Insults have broken my heart
to the point that I could die.
I hoped that someone would show compassion,
but nobody did;
and that there would be comforters,
but I found none.
²²⁽²¹⁾They put poison in my food;
in my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
²³⁽²²⁾Let their dining table
before them become a snare;
when they are at peace,
let it become a trap;
²⁴⁽²³⁾let their eyes be darkened,
so that they can’t see,
and let their bodies
always be stumbling.
²⁵⁽²⁴⁾Pour out your fury on them,
let your fierce anger overtake them.
²⁶⁽²⁵⁾Let the place where they live be desolate,
with no one to live in their tents,
²⁷⁽²⁶⁾for persecuting someone you had already stricken,
for adding to the pain of those you wounded.
²⁸⁽²⁷⁾Add guilt to their guilt,
don’t let them enter your righteousness.
²⁹⁽²⁸⁾Erase them from the book of life,
let them not be written with the righteous.
