²³ But you, O God, ^(A)will cast them down
    into ^(B)the pit of destruction;
men of ^(C)blood and treachery
    shall not ^(D)live out half their days.
But I will ^(E)trust in you.

¹⁹ Hear me, O Lord,
    and ^(A)listen to the voice of my adversaries.
^20 (B)Should good be repaid with evil?
    Yet ^(C)they have dug a pit for my life.
^(D)Remember how I stood before you
    to speak good for them,
    to turn away your wrath from them.
²¹ Therefore ^(E)deliver up their children to famine;
    give them over to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless ^(F)and widowed.
    May their men meet death by pestilence,
    their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.
^22 (G)May a cry be heard from their houses,
    when you bring the plunderer suddenly upon them!
For ^(H)they have dug a pit to take me
    ^(I)and laid snares for my feet.
²³ Yet ^(J)you, O Lord, know
    all their plotting to kill me.
^(K)Forgive not their iniquity,
    nor blot out their sin from your sight.
Let them be overthrown before you;
    deal with them in the time of your anger.

^25 (A)Pour out your wrath on the nations that know you not,
    and on the peoples that call not on your name,
^(B)for they have devoured Jacob;
    they have devoured him and consumed him,
    and have laid waste his habitation.
