Men of the Bible: Psalm 69:19-36 19 You know the insults I endure— my shame and disgrace. You are aware of all my adversaries. 20 Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I waited for sympathy, but there was none; for comforters, but found no one. 21 Instead, they gave me gall for my food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 22 Let their table set before them be a snare, and let it be a trap for their allies. 23 Let their eyes grow too dim to see, and let their loins continually shake. 24 Pour out Your rage on them, and let Your burning anger overtake them. 25 Make their fortification desolate; may no one live in their tents. 26 For they persecute the one You struck and talk about the pain of those You wounded. 27 Add guilt to their guilt; do not let them share in Your righteousness. 28 Let them be erased from the book of life and not be recorded with the righteous. 29 But as for me—poor and in pain— let Your salvation protect me, God. 30 I will praise God’s name with song and exalt Him with thanksgiving. 31 That will please Yahweh more than an ox, more than a bull with horns and hooves. 32 The humble will see it and rejoice. You who seek God, take heart! 33 For the Lord listens to the needy and does not despise His own who are prisoners. 34 Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them, 35 for God will save Zion and build up the cities of Judah. They will live there and possess it. 36 The descendants of His servants will inherit it, and those who love His name will live in it.
