Psalm 69^[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David.

⁶⁷ Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists.^(A) Others slapped him

⁶⁸ and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?”^(A)

⁶⁵ Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.^(A)

²² When Jesus said this, one of the officials^(A) nearby slapped him in the face.^(B) “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.
