Psalm 69:20

A Plea For Rescue

¹⁹
You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor [how I am insulted];
My adversaries are all before You [each one fully known]. ²⁰ 
Reproach and insults have broken my heart and I am so sick.
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
And for comforters, but I found none.
²¹
They (self-righteous hypocrites) also gave me gall [poisonous and bitter] for my food,
And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

Comfort Me

Lose Heart
