²⁸ Samson called to Yahweh, and said, Lord Yahweh, remember me, Please, and strengthen me, Please, only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

¹⁵ Yahweh, you know; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; don't take me away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.

¹⁸ Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, Yahweh. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.

¹⁹ Don't deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don't forget the life of your poor forever.

²⁰ Honor your covenant, For haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.

²¹ Don't let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.

²² Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.

²³ Don't forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.

¹⁰ They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"

³² What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets;

¹⁴ Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,

¹ Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish's belly.

² He said, "I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.

³¹ For the Lord will not cast off forever.

³² For though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

¹² In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.

⁴ Then called I on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul."

¹⁵ He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

¹⁰ The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;

¹¹ So that men shall say, "Most assuredly there is a reward for the righteous. Most assuredly there is a God who judges the earth."

¹⁵ Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

¹² Our God, will you not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do: but out eyes are on you.

¹⁸ He was very thirsty, and called on Yahweh, and said, You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised.

³¹ So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh: But let those who love him be as the sun when he goes forth in his might. The land had rest forty years.
