Alone #Messiah texts #Psalter Psalm 69:21 [20]

29. Accompagnato (tenor) – Thy rebuke hath broken his heart; he is full of heaviness. He looked for some to have pity on him, but there was no man, neither found he any to comfort him.
Psalm 69:21 [20]
חֶרְפָּ֤ה ׀ שָֽׁבְרָ֥ה לִבִּ֗י וָֽאָ֫נ֥וּשָׁה
וָאֲקַוֶּ֣ה לָנ֣וּד וָאַ֑יִן
וְ֝לַמְנַחֲמִ֗ים וְלֹ֣א מָצָֽאתִי
21 Reproach has broken my heart and I am despondent.
And I waited for sympathy but there was none,
and for comforters but I did not find any.

 Despondent, nvw is a hapax. The music for this verse is also unique.
