- Answer me, O LORD, out of the goodness of your love; in your great mercy turn to me.
- Do not hide your face from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.
- Come near and rescue me; redeem me because of my foes.
- You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed; all my enemies are before you.
- Scorn has broken my heart and has left me helpless; I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found none.
|
- They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst.
- May the table set before them become a snare; may it become retribution and a trap.
- May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.
- Pour out your wrath on them; let your fierce anger overtake them.
- May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
|
- For they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of those you hurt.
- Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation.
- May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.
