Psalm 69:19-28
New International Version
Psalm 69:19-28
New International Version
19 You know how I am scorned,(A) disgraced and shamed;
all my enemies are before you.
20 Scorn has broken my heart
and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
for comforters,(B) but I found none.(C)
21 They put gall in my food
and gave me vinegar(D) for my thirst.(E)
22 May the table set before them become a snare;
may it become retribution and[a] a trap.(F)
23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever.(G)
24 Pour out your wrath(H) on them;
let your fierce anger overtake them.
25 May their place be deserted;(I)
let there be no one to dwell in their tents.(J)
26 For they persecute those you wound
and talk about the pain of those you hurt.(K)
27 Charge them with crime upon crime;(L)
do not let them share in your salvation.(M)
28 May they be blotted out of the book of life(N)
and not be listed with the righteous.(O)

Psalm 69:19-28
King James Version
Psalm 69:19-28
King James Version
19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
