The King James Version Bible

Psalms 69:20-29

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

  2. They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

  3. Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

  4. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

  5. Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

  6. Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.

  7. For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

  8. Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.

  9. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

  10. But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
