Psalm 69:19-36

New American Standard Bible

¹⁹ You know my ^(A)disgrace, my shame, and my dishonor;
All my enemies are ^[a]known to You.

²⁰ Disgrace has ^(B)broken my heart, and I am so sick.
And ^(C)I waited for sympathy, but there was none;
And for ^(D)comforters, but I found none.
²¹ They also gave me ^[b](E)a bitter herb in my food,
And for my thirst they ^(F)gave me vinegar to drink.

²² May ^(G)their table before them become a snare;
And ^[c](H)when they are at peace, may it become a trap.
²³ May their ^(I)eyes grow dim so that they cannot see,
And make their ^(J)hips shake continually.
^24 (K)Pour out Your indignation on them,
And may Your burning anger overtake them.
²⁵ May their ^[d](L)camp be desolated;
May there be none living in their tents.
²⁶ For they have ^(M)persecuted him whom ^(N)You Yourself struck,
And they tell of the pain of those whom ^(O)You have ^[e]wounded.
²⁷ Add ^(P)guilt to their guilt,
And ^(Q)may they not come into ^(R)Your righteousness.
²⁸ May they be ^(S)wiped out of the ^(T)book of life,
And may they not be ^[f](U)recorded with the righteous.

²⁹ But I am ^(V)afflicted and in pain;
^[g]May Your salvation, God, ^(W)set me safely on high.
³⁰ I will ^(X)praise the name of God with song,
And ^(Y)exalt Him with ^(Z)thanksgiving.
³¹ And it will ^(AA)please the Lord better than an ox
Or bull with horns and hoofs.
³² The ^(AB)humble ^[h]have seen it and are glad;
You who seek God, ^(AC)let your heart ^[i]revive.
³³ For ^(AD)the Lord hears the needy,
And ^(AE)does not despise those of His who are prisoners.

^34 (AF)Heaven and earth shall praise Him,
The seas and ^(AG)everything that moves in them.
³⁵ For God will ^(AH)save Zion and ^(AI)build the cities of Judah,
So that they may live there and ^(AJ)possess it.
³⁶ The ^[j](AK)descendants of His servants will inherit it,
And those who love His name ^(AL)will live in it.
