Psalms 69:19
17 Hide not Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!
18 Draw near to my soul and redeem me; ransom me because of my foes.
You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace. All my adversaries are before You.
20 Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one.
21 They poisoned my food with gall and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
