Psalm 69:15-20

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁶ Answer me, O Lord, for your steadfast love is good;
    according to your abundant mercy, turn to me.^(B)
17 Do not hide your face from your servant,
    for I am in distress—make haste to answer me.^(C)
18 Draw near to me; redeem me;
    set me free because of my enemies.

¹⁹ You know the insults I receive
    and my shame and dishonor;
    my foes are all known to you.^(D)
20 Insults have broken my heart,
    so that I am in despair.
I looked for pity, but there was none;
    and for comforters, but I found none.^(E)
