19 Hearken to me, O Yah Veh, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
20 Shalam we evil for good? For they dig a chasm for my soul. Remember that I stood at your face to word good for them and to turn away your fury from them.
21 So give their sons to the famine and pour them by the hand of the sword; so that their women bereave and become widows; and their men become slaughtered; - their youths smitten by the sword in war.
22 Hear their cry from the houses when you bring a troop suddenly on them: for they dig a chasm to capture me and hide snares for my feet.
23 Yet, O Yah Veh, you know all their counsel against me - to execute me: neither kapar/atone their perversity nor wipe out their sin from your face; fell them at your face; work thus with them in the time of your wrath.
