17. And hide not thy face from thy slave, for I am in trouble; hear me speedily.
18. Draw near unto my soul and redeem it; deliver me because of my enemies.
19. Thou hast known my reproach and my shame and my dishonour; my adversaries are all before thee.
20. Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness, and I looked for some to take pity, but there was no one, and for comforters, but I found none.
21. They also gave me gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
