Psalm 69:13-28

¶But as for me, my prayer is to You, Lord, at an acceptable time; God, in the greatness of Your mercy, Answer me with Your saving truth. Rescue me from the mud and do not let me sink; May I be rescued from those who hate me, and from the depths of water. May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit close its mouth on me. ¶Answer me, Lord, for Your mercy is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me, And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress; answer me quickly. Come near to my soul and redeem it; Ransom me because of my enemies! You know my disgrace, my shame, and my dishonor; All my enemies are known to You. ¶Disgrace has broken my heart, and I am so sick. And I waited for sympathy, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none. They also gave me a bitter herb in my food, And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. ¶May their table before them become a snare; And when they are at peace, may it become a trap. May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see, And make their hips shake continually. Pour out Your indignation on them, And may Your burning anger overtake them. May their camp be desolated; May there be none living in their tents. For they have persecuted him whom You Yourself struck, And they tell of the pain of those whom You have wounded. Add guilt to their guilt, And may they not come into Your righteousness. May they be wiped out of the book of life, And may they not be recorded with the righteous.
