American Standard Version

Psalm 69:21-33 American Standard Version (ASV)

21. They gave me also gall for my food; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

22. Let their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, let it become a trap.

23. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; And make their loins continually to shake.

24. Pour out thine indignation upon them, And let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.

25. Let their habitation be desolate; Let none dwell in their tents.

26. For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; And they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.

27. Add iniquity unto their iniquity; And let them not come into thy righteousness.

28. Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous.

29. But I am poor and sorrowful: Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

30. I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving.

31. And it will please Jehovah better than an ox, Or a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

32. The meek have seen it, and are glad: Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.

33. For Jehovah heareth the needy, And despiseth not his prisoners.
