Hope through God’s Mercy
א Aleph
3 I am the man who has seen affliction
under the rod of God’s wrath.
2 He has driven me away and forced me to walk
in darkness instead of light.(A)
3 Yes, he repeatedly turns his hand
against me all day long.
ב Beth
4 He has worn away my flesh and skin;(B)
he has broken my bones.(C)
5 He has laid siege against me,(D)
encircling me with bitterness and hardship.(E)
6 He has made me dwell in darkness
like those who have been dead for ages.(F)
ג Gimel
7 He has walled me in so I cannot get out;(G)
he has weighed me down with chains.
8 Even when I cry out and plead for help,
he blocks out my prayer.(H)
9 He has walled in my ways with blocks of stone;(I)
he has made my paths crooked.(J)
ד Daleth
10 He is[a] a bear waiting in ambush,
a lion in hiding.(K)
11 He forced me off my way and tore me to pieces;
he left me desolate.
12 He strung his bow(L)
and set me as the target for his arrow.
ה He
13 He pierced my kidneys
with shafts from his quiver.(M)
14 I am a laughing-stock(N) to all my people,[b]
mocked by their songs(O) all day long.
15 He filled me with bitterness,
satiated me with wormwood.(P)
ו Waw
16 He ground my teeth with gravel(Q)
and made me cower[c] in the dust.
17 I have been deprived[d] of peace;(R)
I have forgotten what prosperity is.
18 Then I thought, ‘My future[e] is lost,
as well as my hope from the Lord.’
ז Zayin
19 Remember[f] my affliction and my homelessness,(S)
the wormwood and the poison.(T)
20 I continually remember them
and have become depressed.[g](U)
21 Yet I call this to mind,
and therefore I have hope:(V)
ח Cheth
22 Because of the Lord’s faithful love(W)
we do not perish,[h]
for his mercies never end.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness!(X)
24 I say, ‘The Lord is my portion,(Y)
therefore I will put my hope in him.’
ט Teth
25 The Lord is good to those who wait(Z) for him,
to the person who seeks him.
26 It is good to wait quietly(AA)
for salvation from the Lord.(AB)
27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke(AC)
while he is still young.
י Yod
28 Let him sit alone and be silent,(AD)
for God has disciplined[i] him.
29 Let him put his mouth in the dust(AE) –
perhaps there is still hope.
30 Let him offer his cheek
to the one who would strike him;(AF)
let him be filled with disgrace.
כ Kaph
31 For the Lord
will not reject us for ever.
32 Even if he causes suffering,
he will show compassion
according to the abundance of his faithful love.(AG)
33 For he does not enjoy bringing affliction(AH)
or suffering on mankind.
ל Lamed
34 Crushing all the prisoners of the land[j]
beneath one’s feet,
35 denying justice to a man(AI)
in the presence of the Most High,
36 or subverting a person in his lawsuit(AJ) –
the Lord does not approve of these things.
מ Mem
37 Who is there who speaks and it happens,
unless the Lord has ordained it?(AK)
38 Do not both adversity and good
come from the mouth of the Most High?(AL)
39 Why should any living person complain,
any man, because of the punishment for his sins?
נ Nun
40 Let’s examine and probe our ways,
and turn back to the Lord.(AM)
41 Let’s lift up our hearts and our hands(AN)
to God in heaven:
42 ‘We have sinned and rebelled;
you have not forgiven.(AO)
ס Samek
43 ‘You have covered yourself in anger and pursued us;
you have killed without compassion.(AP)
44 You have covered yourself with a cloud
so that no prayer can get through.(AQ)
45 You have made us disgusting filth
among the peoples.(AR)
פ Pe
46 ‘All our enemies
open their mouths against us.(AS)
47 We have experienced panic and pitfall,(AT)
devastation and destruction.’
48 My eyes flow with streams of tears
because of the destruction of my dear people.
ע Ayin
49 My eyes overflow unceasingly,
without end,(AU)
50 until the Lord looks down
from heaven and sees.(AV)
51 My eyes bring me grief
because of the fate of all the women in my city.
צ Tsade
52 For no reason, my enemies[k]
hunted me like a bird.(AW)
53 They smothered my life in[l] a pit(AX)
and threw stones on me.
54 Water flooded over my head,(AY)
and I thought, ‘I’m going to die! ’(AZ)
ק Qoph
55 I called on your name, Lord,
from the depths of the pit.
56 You heard my plea:
Do not ignore my cry for relief.
57 You came near whenever I called you;
you said, ‘Do not be afraid.’
ר Resh
58 You championed my cause, Lord;(BA)
you redeemed my life.(BB)
59 Lord, you saw the wrong done to me;
judge my case.
60 You saw all their vengefulness,
all their plots against me.(BC)
ׂש Sin / שׁ Shin
61 Lord, you heard their insults,(BD)
all their plots against me.
62 The slander[m] and murmuring of my opponents
attack me all day long.
63 When they sit and when they rise, look,
I am mocked by their songs.(BE)
ת Taw
64 You will pay them back what they deserve, Lord,
according to the work of their hands.(BF)
65 You will give them a heart filled with anguish.[n](BG)
May your curse be on them!
66 You will pursue them in anger and destroy them
under your heavens.[o](BH)

Parusa, Pagsisisi at Pag-asa
3 Naranasan ko kung gaano kahirap ang maparusahan ng Diyos.
2 Itinaboy niya ako sa lugar na wala kahit bahagyang liwanag.
3 Walang awa niya akong hinahampas sa buong maghapon.
4 Tadtad ng sugat ang buo kong katawan at bali-bali ang aking mga buto.
5 Ibinilanggo niya ako sa kalungkutan at pagdurusa.
6 Isinadlak niya ako sa kadiliman, laging nasa bingit ng kamatayan.
7 Ginapos niya ako para hindi makatakas, pinalibutan ako ng pader na mataas.
8 Nanambitan man ako at humingi ng tulong, hindi niya dininig ang aking dalangin.
9 Susuray-suray ako sa tindi ng hirap, at kahit saan ako bumaling
ay may pader na nakaharang.
10 Siya'y parang osong nag-aabang sa akin; at parang leong nag-aantay.
11 Hinabol niya ako saka niluray; at iniwang nakahandusay.
12 Iniakma niya ang kanyang pana, at ako ang ginawang tudlaan.
13 Tinamaan ako sa aking puso ng kanyang mga palaso.
14 Buong araw ako'y pinagtatawanan; sa mga kwentuhan ako ay biruan.
15 Pawang kapaitan at kalungkutan ang ipinalasap niya sa akin.
16 Inginudngod niya sa lupa ang aking mukha at idinikdik sa bato ang aking bibig.
17 Naglaho sa akin ang bakas ng kalusugan, maging kapayapaan at kaligayahan man.
18 Kaya't sinasabi ko, “Nawala na ang aking lakas at ang aking pag-asa kay Yahweh.”
19 Simpait ng apdo ang alalahanin sa aking paghihirap at kabiguan.
20 Lagi ko itong naaalaala, at ako'y labis na napipighati.
21 Gayunma'y nanunumbalik ang aking pag-asa kapag naalala kong:
22 Pag-ibig mo, Yahweh, ay hindi nagmamaliw; kahabagan mo'y walang kapantay.
23 Ito ay laging sariwa bawat umaga; katapatan mo'y napakadakila.
24 Si Yahweh ay akin, sa kanya ako magtitiwala.
25 Si Yahweh ay mabuti sa mga nananalig at umaasa sa kanya,
26 kaya't pinakamainam ang buong tiyagang umasa sa ating kaligtasang si Yahweh ang may dala.
27 At mabuti sa isang tao na siya'y matutong magtiyaga mula sa kanyang kabataan.
28 Kung siya'y palasapin ng kahirapan, matahimik siyang magtiis at maghintay;
29 siya'y magpakumbaba sa harapan ni Yahweh, at huwag mawalan ng pag-asa.
30 Tanggapin ang lahat ng pananakit at paghamak na kanyang daranasin.
31 Mahabagin si Yahweh at hindi niya tayo itatakwil habang panahon.
32 Bagaman siya'y nagpaparusa, hindi naman nawawala ang kanyang pag-ibig.
33 Hindi niya ikatutuwang tayo'y saktan o pahirapan.
34 Hindi nalilingid kay Yahweh kung naghihirap ang ating kalooban,
35 maging ang ating karapatan, kung tayo'y pagkaitan.
36 Kung ang katarungan ay hayagang tinutuya, siguradong si Yahweh ay hindi magpapabaya.
37 Walang anumang bagay na mangyayari, nang hindi sa kapahintulutan ni Yahweh.
38 Nasa kapangyarihan ng Kataas-taasang Diyos ang masama at mabuti.
39 Bakit tayo magrereklamo kapag tayo'y pinaparusahan kung dahil naman ito sa ating mga kasalanan?
40 Siyasatin nati't suriin ang ating pamumuhay, at tayo'y manumbalik kay Yahweh!
41 Dumulog tayo sa Diyos at tayo'y manalangin:
42 “Kami'y nagkasala at naghimagsik, at hindi mo kami pinatawad.
43 “Sa iyong matinding galit ay hinabol mo kami at walang awang pinatay.
44 Ang galit mo'y tila makapal na ulap na hindi malampasan ng aming mga dalangin.
45 Ginawa mo kaming tambakan ng kasamaan ng sanlibutan.
46 “Kinukutya kami ng aming mga kaaway;
47 nagdaan na kami sa pagkawasak at kapahamakan, naranasan namin ang mabingit sa panganib at manginig sa takot.
48 Hindi mapigil ang pagbalong ng aking mga luha, dahil sa kapahamakang sinapit ng aking bayan.
49 “Walang tigil ang pagdaloy ng aking mga luha,
50 hanggang si Yahweh ay tumunghay mula sa langit at kami'y lingapin.
51 Nagdadalamhati ako dahil sa sinapit ng mga kababaihan sa aking lunsod.
52 “Para akong ibong binitag ng aking mga kaaway, gayong wala silang dahilan upang kamuhian ako.
53 Ako'y inihulog nila nang buháy sa isang balon, at tinakpan ng bato ang bunganga nito.
54 Lumubog ako sa tubig, at nasabi ko, ‘Wala na akong pag-asang mabuhay pa.’
55 “O Yahweh, tinawag ko ang iyong pangalan nang ako'y nasa kailaliman ng balon;
56 narinig mo ang aking samo, ‘Huwag mong takpan ang iyong pandinig sa aking paghingi ng tulong!’
57 Nilapitan mo ako nang ika'y tawagan ko; sinabi mo sa akin, ‘Huwag kang matakot!’
58 “Tinulungan mo ako, Yahweh, at iniligtas mo ang aking buhay.
59 Hindi kaila sa iyo ang kasamaang ginawa nila sa akin; bigyan mo ako ng katarungan.
60 Nakita mo ang kanilang paghihiganti at masasamang balak laban sa akin.
61 “Narinig mo, Yahweh, ang pangungutya nila't mga pakana laban sa akin.
62 Nagsasalita at nag-iisip laban sa akin ang mga kaaway ko.
63 Mula umaga hanggang gabi kanilang panunuya'y walang pasintabi.
64 “O Yahweh, parusahan mo sila, ayon sa kanilang ginawa.
65-66 Pahirapan mo sila, at iyong sumpain;
habulin mo sila at iyong lipulin!”

3 [a]I am the man who has seen affliction(A)
by the rod of the Lord’s wrath.(B)
2 He has driven me away and made me walk
in darkness(C) rather than light;
3 indeed, he has turned his hand against me(D)
again and again, all day long.
4 He has made my skin and my flesh grow old(E)
and has broken my bones.(F)
5 He has besieged me and surrounded me
with bitterness(G) and hardship.(H)
6 He has made me dwell in darkness
like those long dead.(I)
7 He has walled me in so I cannot escape;(J)
he has weighed me down with chains.(K)
8 Even when I call out or cry for help,(L)
he shuts out my prayer.(M)
9 He has barred(N) my way with blocks of stone;
he has made my paths crooked.(O)
10 Like a bear lying in wait,
like a lion(P) in hiding,(Q)
11 he dragged me from the path and mangled(R) me
and left me without help.
12 He drew his bow(S)
and made me the target(T) for his arrows.(U)
13 He pierced(V) my heart
with arrows from his quiver.(W)
14 I became the laughingstock(X) of all my people;(Y)
they mock me in song(Z) all day long.
15 He has filled me with bitter herbs
and given me gall to drink.(AA)
16 He has broken my teeth with gravel;(AB)
he has trampled me in the dust.(AC)
17 I have been deprived of peace;
I have forgotten what prosperity is.
18 So I say, “My splendor is gone
and all that I had hoped from the Lord.”(AD)
19 I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness(AE) and the gall.(AF)
20 I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast(AG) within me.(AH)
21 Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the Lord’s great love(AI) we are not consumed,(AJ)
for his compassions never fail.(AK)
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.(AL)
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;(AM)
therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;(AN)
26 it is good to wait quietly(AO)
for the salvation of the Lord.(AP)
27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.
28 Let him sit alone in silence,(AQ)
for the Lord has laid it on him.
29 Let him bury his face in the dust(AR)—
there may yet be hope.(AS)
30 Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him,(AT)
and let him be filled with disgrace.(AU)
31 For no one is cast off
by the Lord forever.(AV)
32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,
so great is his unfailing love.(AW)
33 For he does not willingly bring affliction
or grief to anyone.(AX)
34 To crush underfoot
all prisoners in the land,
35 to deny people their rights
before the Most High,(AY)
36 to deprive them of justice—
would not the Lord see such things?(AZ)
37 Who can speak and have it happen
if the Lord has not decreed it?(BA)
38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
that both calamities and good things come?(BB)
39 Why should the living complain
when punished for their sins?(BC)
40 Let us examine our ways and test them,(BD)
and let us return to the Lord.(BE)
41 Let us lift up our hearts and our hands
to God in heaven,(BF) and say:
42 “We have sinned and rebelled(BG)
and you have not forgiven.(BH)
43 “You have covered yourself with anger and pursued(BI) us;
you have slain without pity.(BJ)
44 You have covered yourself with a cloud(BK)
so that no prayer(BL) can get through.(BM)
45 You have made us scum(BN) and refuse
among the nations.
46 “All our enemies have opened their mouths
wide(BO) against us.(BP)
47 We have suffered terror and pitfalls,(BQ)
ruin and destruction.(BR)”
48 Streams of tears(BS) flow from my eyes(BT)
because my people are destroyed.(BU)
49 My eyes will flow unceasingly,
without relief,(BV)
50 until the Lord looks down
from heaven and sees.(BW)
51 What I see brings grief to my soul
because of all the women of my city.
52 Those who were my enemies without cause
hunted me like a bird.(BX)
53 They tried to end my life in a pit(BY)
and threw stones at me;
54 the waters closed over my head,(BZ)
and I thought I was about to perish.(CA)
55 I called on your name, Lord,
from the depths(CB) of the pit.(CC)
56 You heard my plea:(CD) “Do not close your ears
to my cry for relief.”
57 You came near(CE) when I called you,
and you said, “Do not fear.”(CF)
58 You, Lord, took up my case;(CG)
you redeemed my life.(CH)
59 Lord, you have seen the wrong done to me.(CI)
Uphold my cause!(CJ)
60 You have seen the depth of their vengeance,
all their plots against me.(CK)

Lamentations 3
King James Version
3 I Am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2 He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
3 Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.
4 My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
5 He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
6 He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
7 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
9 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
10 He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
11 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
12 He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13 He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
14 I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
15 He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
16 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
18 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord:
19 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
29 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
30 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
31 For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
33 For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
34 To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth.
35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.
41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
43 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
45 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
47 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission.
50 Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
51 Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
52 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
54 Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
55 I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.
56 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
58 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
59 O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me;
62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
64 Render unto them a recompence, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.
65 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord.

Álef
[a]3 Yo soy aquel que ha sufrido la aflicción
bajo la vara de su ira.
2 Me ha hecho andar en las tinieblas
y no en la luz.
3 Todo el día, una y otra vez,
su mano se ha vuelto contra mí.
Bet
4 Ha hecho que mi carne y mi piel envejezcan;
me ha quebrantado los huesos.
5 Me ha tendido un cerco
de amargura y tribulaciones.
6 Me obliga a vivir en las tinieblas,
como a los que hace tiempo murieron.
Guímel
7 Me tiene encerrado, no puedo escapar;
me ha puesto pesadas cadenas.
8 Por más que grito y pido ayuda,
él rechaza mi oración.
9 Cerró mi camino con bloques de piedra;
ha torcido mis senderos.
Dálet
10 Me acecha como oso,
como león escondido.
11 Me aparta del camino para despedazarme;
¡me deja sin ayuda!
12 Con el arco tenso,
me ha hecho blanco de sus flechas.
He
13 Me ha partido el corazón
con las flechas de su aljaba.
14 Soy el motivo de risa de todo mi pueblo;
todo el día me cantan parodias.
15 Me ha llenado de amargura,
me ha hecho beber hiel.
Vav
16 Con piedras me ha quebrado los dientes;
me ha hecho morder el polvo.
17 Me ha quitado la paz;
ya no recuerdo lo que es la dicha.
18 Y digo: «Me he quedado sin fuerzas
y sin esperanza en el Señor».
Zayin
19 Recuerda que estoy afligido y ando errante,
que estoy saturado de hiel y amargura.
20 Recuerdo esto bien
y por eso me deprimo.
21 Pero algo más me viene a la memoria,
lo cual me llena de esperanza:
Jet
22 Por el gran amor del Señor no hemos sido consumidos[b]
y su compasión jamás se agota.
23 Cada mañana se renuevan sus bondades;
¡muy grande es su fidelidad!
24 Me digo a mí mismo:
«El Señor es mi herencia.
¡En él esperaré!».
Tet
25 Bueno es el Señor con quienes esperan en él,
con todos los que lo buscan.
26 Bueno es esperar calladamente
la salvación del Señor.
27 Bueno es que el hombre aprenda
a llevar el yugo desde su juventud.
Yod
28 ¡Déjenlo estar solo y en silencio,
porque el Señor se lo ha impuesto!
29 ¡Que hunda el rostro en el polvo!
¡Tal vez haya esperanza todavía!
30 ¡Que dé la otra mejilla a quien lo hiera,
y quede así cubierto de deshonra!
Caf
31 El Señor nos ha rechazado,
pero no será para siempre.
32 Nos hace sufrir, pero también muestra compasión,
porque es muy grande su amor.
33 El Señor nos hiere y nos aflige,
pero no porque sea de su agrado.
Lámed
34 Cuando se aplasta bajo el pie
a todos los prisioneros de la tierra,
35 cuando en presencia del Altísimo
se le niegan al pueblo sus derechos
36 y no se hace justicia,
¿el Señor no se da cuenta?
Mem
37 ¿Quién puede anunciar algo y hacerlo realidad
sin que el Señor dé la orden?
38 ¿No es acaso por la boca del Altísimo
que acontece lo bueno y lo malo?
39 ¿Por qué habría de quejarse en vida
quien es castigado por sus pecados?
Nun
40 Examinemos y pongamos a prueba nuestras conductas
y volvamos al Señor.
41 Elevemos al Dios de los cielos
nuestro corazón y nuestras manos.
42 Hemos pecado, hemos sido rebeldes
y tú no nos has perdonado.
Sámej
43 Te cubriste de ira y nos persigues;
nos matas sin piedad.
44 Te cubriste con una nube
para no escuchar nuestra oración.
45 Como a escoria despreciable
nos has arrojado entre las naciones.
Pe
46 Todos nuestros enemigos abren la boca
para hablar mal de nosotros.
47 Hemos sufrido terrores y trampas,
ruina y destrucción.
48 Ríos de lágrimas corren por mis mejillas
porque ha sido destruida la hija de mi pueblo.
Ayin
49 Se inundarán en llanto mis ojos,
sin cesar y sin consuelo,
50 hasta que el Señor
contemple desde el cielo y vea.
51 Me duele en lo más profundo del alma
ver sufrir a las mujeres de mi ciudad.
Tsade
52 Mis enemigos me persiguen sin razón,
y quieren atraparme como a un ave.
53 Me quieren enterrar vivo
y me tiraron piedras.
54 Las aguas me han cubierto la cabeza;
tal parece que me ha llegado el fin.
Qof
55 Desde lo más profundo de la fosa
invoqué, Señor, tu nombre,

«No cierres tus oídos a mi clamor de alivio».

«No temas», me dijiste.
Resh
58 Tú, Señor, te pusiste de mi parte;
tú redimiste mi vida.
59 Tú, Señor, viste el mal que me causaron;
¡hazme justicia!
60 Tú notaste su sed de venganza
y todas sus maquinaciones en mi contra.
Shin
61 Señor, tú has escuchado sus insultos
y todos sus planes en mi contra;
62 tú sabes que todo el día mis enemigos
murmuran y se confabulan contra mí.
63 ¡Míralos! Hagan lo que hagan,[c]
se burlan de mí en sus canciones.
Tav
64 ¡Dales, Señor, su merecido
por todo lo que han hecho!
65 Pon un velo sobre sus corazones,
¡y caiga sobre ellos tu maldición!
66 Persíguelos, Señor, en tu enojo,
y bórralos de debajo de tus cielos.
