Psalm 69:20-22

Save Me, O God

20 b Reproaches have broken my heart,
so that I am in c despair.
I d looked for e pity, but there was none,
and for f comforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me g poison for food,
and for my thirst they gave me h sour wine to drink.

22 i Let their own j table before them become a snare;
k and when they are at peace, let it become a trap. 1
