New Testament

Psalm 68:20-37 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

20. You know my reproach, and my confusion, and my reverence.

21. All those who trouble me are in your sight; my heart has anticipated reproach and misery. And I sought for one who might grieve together with me, but there was no one, and for one who might console me, and I found no one.

22. And they gave me gall for my food. And in my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.

23. Let their table be a snare before them, and a retribution, and a scandal.

24. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they may not see, and may their back always be crooked.

25. Pour out your indignation upon them, and may the fury of your anger take hold of them.

26. May their dwelling place be deserted, and may there be no one who dwells in their tabernacles.

27. For they persecuted whomever you struck. And they have added to the grief of my wounds.

28. Assign an iniquity upon their iniquity, and may they not enter into your justice.

29. Delete them from the Book of the Living, and let them not be written down with the just.

30. I am poor and sorrowful, but your salvation, O God, has taken me up.

31. I will praise the name of God with a canticle, and I will magnify him with praise.

32. And it will please God more than a new calf producing horns and hoofs.

33. Let the poor see and rejoice. Seek God, and your soul will live.

34. For the Lord has heard the poor, and he has not despised his prisoners.

35. Let the heavens and the earth praise him: the sea, and everything that crawls in it.

36. For God will save Zion, and the cities of Judah will be built up. And they will dwell there, and they will acquire it by inheritance.

37. And the offspring of his servants will possess it; and those who love his name will dwell in it.
