Psalm 69

And why? for thy sake have I suffered reproof *

shame hath covered my face.

I am become a stranger unto my brethren *

even an alien unto my mother’s children.

For the zeal of thine house hath even eaten me *

and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee are fallen upon me.

I wept, and chastened myself with fasting *

and that was turned to my reproof.

I put on sackcloth also *

and they jested upon me.

They that sit in the gate speak against me *

and the drunkards make songs upon me.

But, Lord, I make my prayer unto thee *

in an acceptable time.

Hear me, O God, in the multitude of thy mercy *

even in the truth of thy salvation.

Take me out of the mire, that I sink not *

O let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

They gave me gall to eat *

and when I was thirsty they gave me vinegar to drink.

Let their table be made a snare to take themselves withal *

and let the things that should have been for their wealth be unto them an occasion of falling.
