Psalm 69:21

Verse 21 of 36. The 69th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

17Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!

18Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.

19You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before you.

20Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; for comforters, but I found none.

21They also gave me poison for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.

22Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap.

23Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see. Let their backs be continually bent.

24Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.

25Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents.
