16. Hear me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good;Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.
17. And do not hide Your face from Your servant,For I am in trouble;Hear me speedily.
18. Draw near to my soul, and redeem it;Deliver me because of my enemies.
19. You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor;My adversaries are all before You.
20. Reproach has broken my heart,And I am full of heaviness;I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none;And for comforters, but I found none.
21. They also gave me gall for my food,And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22. Let their table become a snare before them,And their well-being a trap.
23. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see;And make their loins shake continually.
24. Pour out Your indignation upon them,And let Your wrathful anger take hold of them.
25. Let their dwelling place be desolate;Let no one live in their tents.
