²² Let all their wickedness come before thee; And do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.

¹⁸ Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! my heart is faint within me.

¹⁴ Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

¹⁵ Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;

⁴ Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up for a spoil in a land of captivity;

⁵ and cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee; for they have provoked `thee' to anger before the builders.

¹⁰ and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

¹³ Wherefore I ask that ye may not faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.

³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

¹³ From on high hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them; He hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: He hath made me desolate and faint all the day.

³⁵ The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.

²³ Yet, Jehovah, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me; forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight; but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thou with them in the time of thine anger.

²⁵ Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have devoured Jacob, yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.

⁷ Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt:

⁷ Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof.

⁸ O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed, Happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee As thou hast served us.

⁹ Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones Against the rock. Psalm 138 A `Psalm' of David.
