Psalm 69:19-21

You know my reproach, and my shame and my dishonor; my foes are all known to you. (20) Reproaches have broken my heart, so that I am in despair. I looked for pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none. (21) They gave me poison for food, and for my thirst they gave me sour wine to drink.

How can I lament my trials when I meditate on Your suffering for my sake? Bruised and beaten, scorned and scourged, afflicted and assaulted, denied and deserted, humiliated in the eyes of all who passed by Golgotha that fateful day. All to bear my sins, to take my willfulness upon Your self and present me as whole, pure and acceptable to God Almighty. Praise You, Lord.
