9. for the zeal of Your house has consumedme,and the insults of those who insulted You fell on me.
10. When I wept with fasting for my soul,it became an insult to me.
11. I also made sackcloth my garment,and I became a byword to them.
12. Those who sit in the gate speak against me,and I am the song of the drunkards.
13. But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord;in an acceptable time, O God,in the abundance of Your mercy,answer me in the truth of Your salvation.
14. Deliver me out of the mirethat I may not sink;may I be delivered from those who hateme,and out of the watery depths.
15. May the stream not overflow me;neither may the deep swallow me up,nor the pit close its mouth on me.
16. Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good;turn Your face to me according to the abundance of Your tender mercies.
17. Do not hide Your face from Your servant,for I am in trouble; answer me quickly.
18. Draw near to my soul, and redeem it;deliver me because of my enemies.
19. You have known how I am insulted, and my shame and my dishonor;my adversaries are all before You.
20. Insults have broken my heart,and I am sick;and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;and for comforters, but I found none.
21. They also gave me poison for my food,and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22. May their table become a snare before them,and may security become a trap.
23. May their eyes be darkened so they do not see,and make their sides shake continually.
24. Pour out Your indignation on them,and may Your wrathful anger overtake them.
25. May their habitation be desolate,and may no one dwell in their tents.
26. For they persecute him whom You have struck down,and they recount the pain of those You have wounded.
