069:018 Draw near to my soul, and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies. 069:019 You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before you. 069:020 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; for comforters, but I found none. 069:021 They also gave me gall for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink. 069:022 Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap. 069:023 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see. Let their backs be continually bent. 069:024 Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them. 069:025 Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents. 069:026 For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt. 069:027 Charge them with crime upon crime. Don't let them come into your righteousness. 069:028 Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous. 069:029 But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me. 069:030 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. 069:031 It will please Yahweh better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hoofs. 069:032 The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live. 069:033 For Yahweh hears the needy, and doesn't despise his captive people. 069:034 Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves therein! 069:035 For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. They shall settle there, and own it. 069:036 The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein. 070:001 <<For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder.>> Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh. 070:002 Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. 070:003 Let them be turned because of their shame Who say, "Aha! Aha!" 070:004 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, "Let God be exalted!" 070:005 But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don't delay. 071:001 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed. 071:002 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me. 071:003 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. 071:004 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
