Psalms 69:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one.

21 They poisoned my food with gall and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.

22 May their table become a snare; may it be a retribution and a trap.

23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.

24 Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let Your burning anger overtake them.
