²² Let all their evil-doing come before you; do to them as you have done to me for all my sins: for loud is the sound of my grief, and the strength of my heart is gone.

¹⁸ Sorrow has come on me! my heart in me is feeble.

¹⁴ Let the Lord keep in mind the wrongdoing of his fathers; and may the sin of his mother have no forgiveness.

¹⁵ Let them be ever before the eyes of the Lord, so that the memory of them may be cut off from the earth.

⁴ Give ear, O our God, for we are looked down on: let their words of shame be turned back on themselves, and let them be given up to wasting in a land where they are prisoners:

⁵ Let not their wrongdoing be covered or their sin washed away from before you: for they have made you angry before the builders.

¹⁰ And they gave a great cry, saying, How long will it be, O Ruler, holy and true, before you take your place as judge and give punishment for our blood to those on the earth?

³¹ For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry?

³⁵ May the violent things done to me, and my downfall, come on Babylon, the daughter of Zion will say; and, May my blood be on the people of Chaldaea, Jerusalem will say.

²³ But you, Lord, have knowledge of all the designs which they have made against my life; let not their evil-doing be covered or their sin be washed away from before your eyes: but let it be a cause of falling before you: so do to them in the time of your wrath.

²⁵ Let your wrath be let loose on the nations which have no knowledge of you, and on the families who give no worship to your name: for they have made a meal of Jacob, truly they have made a meal of him and put an end to him and made his fields a waste.

⁷ For this cause all hands will be feeble, and every heart of man be turned to water;

⁷ O Lord, keep in mind against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; how they said, Let it be uncovered, uncovered even to its base.

⁸ O daughter of Babylon, whose fate is destruction; happy is the man who does to you what you have done to us.

⁹ Happy is the man who takes your little ones, crushing them against the rocks.
