Psalms 69

Psalms 69:2

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing.

O God, I am ready to be utterly swallowed up with the evils, which are come upon me: I find not any ground of comfort to rest my soul upon.

Psalms 69:12

They that sit in the gate speak against me.

The rulers and men of authority stick not to raise slanderous suggestions against me.

Psalms 69:22

Let their table become a snare to them.

Let all those comfortable helps, which thou hast given them here, be, in thy just judgment, turned into so many temptations, and occasions of their fall.

Psalms 69:23

Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

Let the eyes of their understandings be so darkened, that they may not see the things belonging to their peace; and, as thou blindest their judgment, so do thou also weaken their strength, that they may be no less unfit for action.

Psalms 69:27

Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.

Do thou so far give them over to the lawless desires and counsels of their own hearts, that they may add sin to sin, until their measure be full; and may not recover themselves, by a seasonable conversion unto thee.

Psalms 69:28

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

Take them away by some sudden judgment, from among the living: let not their names be recorded among thy faithful servants here, or thy saints above.
