Psalms 69:9-22 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. for the zeal of Your house has consumedme,and the insults of those who insulted You fell on me.

10. When I wept with fasting for my soul,it became an insult to me.

11. I also made sackcloth my garment,and I became a byword to them.

12. Those who sit in the gate speak against me,and I am the song of the drunkards.

13. But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord;in an acceptable time, O God,in the abundance of Your mercy,answer me in the truth of Your salvation.

14. Deliver me out of the mirethat I may not sink;may I be delivered from those who hateme,and out of the watery depths.

15. May the stream not overflow me;neither may the deep swallow me up,nor the pit close its mouth on me.

16. Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good;turn Your face to me according to the abundance of Your tender mercies.

17. Do not hide Your face from Your servant,for I am in trouble; answer me quickly.

18. Draw near to my soul, and redeem it;deliver me because of my enemies.

19. You have known how I am insulted, and my shame and my dishonor;my adversaries are all before You.

20. Insults have broken my heart,and I am sick;and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;and for comforters, but I found none.

21. They also gave me poison for my food,and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

22. May their table become a snare before them,and may security become a trap.
