Psalm 69:20-29 (King James Version)

 ²⁰Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
 ²¹They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
 ²²Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
 ²³Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
 ²⁴Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
 ²⁵Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
 ²⁶For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
 ²⁷Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
 ²⁸Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
 ²⁹But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
