34:18 The Lord is near the brokenhearted;
he delivers
69:20 Their insults are painful
I look
for comforters, but find none.
69:21 They put bitter poison
and to quench my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.
69:22 May their dining table become a trap before them!
May it be a snare for that group of friends!
69:23 May their eyes be blinded!
Make them shake violently!
69:24 Pour out your judgment
May your raging anger
69:25 May their camp become desolate,
their tents uninhabited!
69:26 For they harass
they spread the news about the suffering of those whom you punish.
69:27 Hold them accountable for all their sins!
Do not vindicate them!
69:28 May their names be deleted from the scroll of the living!
Do not let their names be listed with the godly!
69:29 I am oppressed and suffering!
O God, deliver and protect me!
69:2 I sink into the deep mire
where there is no solid ground;
I am in
and the current overpowers me.
16:11 You lead me in
I experience absolute joy in your presence;
you always give me sheer delight.
A prayer
16:1 Protect me, O God, for I have taken shelter in you.
