Psalms 3

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor [how I am insulted]; My adversaries are all before You [each one fully known].

² 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.

³ They (self-righteous hypocrites) also gave me gall [poisonous and bitter] for my food, And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

⁴ May their table [with all its abundance and luxury] become a snare [to them]; And when they are in peace [secure at their sacrificial feasts], may it become a trap.

⁵ May their eyes be dimmed so that they cannot see, And make their loins shake continually [in terror and weakness].

⁶ Pour out Your indignation on them, And let [the fierceness of] Your burning anger overtake them.

⁷ May their encampment be desolate; May no one dwell in their tents.

⁸ For they have persecuted him whom You have struck, And they tell of the pain of those whom You have pierced and wounded.
