19 You know my (A)reproach,
    and my shame and my dishonor;
    my foes are all known to you.
20 (B)Reproaches have broken my heart,
    so that I am in (C)despair.
I (D)looked for (E)pity, but there was none,
    and for (F)comforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me (G)poison for food,
    and for my thirst they gave me (H)sour wine to drink.

22 (I)Let their own (J)table before them become a snare;
    (K)and when they are at peace, let it become a trap.[a]
23 (L)Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see,
    (M)and make their loins tremble continually.

32 When (A)the humble see it they will be glad;
    you who seek God, (B)let your hearts revive.
33 For the Lord hears the needy
    and (C)does not despise his own people who are prisoners.
