Psalms 69: 8 - 10, 21 - 22, 31, 33 - 34
|
| 8
|
I have become a stranger to my brethren, an alien to my mother's sons.
|
| 9
|
For zeal for thy house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult thee have fallen on me.
|
| 10
|
When I humbled my soul with fasting, it became my reproach.
|
| 21
|
They gave me poison for food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
|
| 22
|
Let their own table before them become a snare; let their sacrificial feasts be a trap.
|
| 31
|
This will please the LORD more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs.
|
| 33
|
For the LORD hears the needy, and does not despise his own that are in bonds.
|
| 34
|
Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves therein.
