Psalms 69:16-24 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

16. Answer me, Lord!You are kind and good.Pay attention to me!You are truly merciful.

17. Don't turn away from me.I am your servant,and I am in trouble.Please hurry and help!

18. Come and save mefrom my enemies.

19. You know how I am insulted,mocked, and disgraced;you know every oneof my enemies.

20. I am crushed by insults,and I feel sick.I had hoped for mercy and pity,but there was none.

21. Enemies poisoned my food,and when I was thirsty,they gave me vinegar.

22. Make their table a trapfor them and their friends.

23. Blind them with darknessand make them tremble.

24. Show them how angry you are!Be furious and catch them.
