17. Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
18. And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.
19. Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my enemies.
20. Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.
21. In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
22. And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
23. Let their table become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.
