A Prayer for Divine Judgment (Imprecation)

Psalms 69:22-29

Their table before them is for a snare, And for a recompence--for a trap.

Darkened are their eyes from seeing, And their loins continually shake Thou.

Pour upon them Thine indignation, And the fierceness of Thine anger doth seize them.

Their tower is desolated, In their tents there is no dweller.

For they have pursued him Thou hast smitten, And recount of the pain of Thy pierced ones.

Give punishment for their iniquity, And they enter not into Thy righteousness.

They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written.

And I am afflicted and pained, Thy salvation, O God, doth set me on high.
