A Prayer for those who are in Pain
[19] You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed;
all my enemies are before you.
[20] Scorn has broken my heart
and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
for comforters, but I found none.
[21] They put gall in my food
and gave me vinegar for my thirst.
[22] May the table set before them become a snare;
may it become retribution and a trap.
[23] May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever.
[24] Pour out your wrath on them;
let your fierce anger overtake them.
[25] May their place be deserted;
let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
[26] For they persecute those you wound
and talk about the pain of those you hurt.
[27] Charge them with crime upon crime;
do not let them share in your salvation.
[28] May they be blotted out of the book of life
and not be listed with the righteous.
[29] But as for me, afflicted and in pain—
may your salvation, God, protect me.
[30] I will praise God’s name in song
and glorify him with thanksgiving.
[31] This will please the Lord more than an ox,
more than a bull with its horns and hooves.
[32] The poor will see and be glad—
you who seek God, may your hearts live!
[33] The Lord hears the needy
and does not despise his captive people.
