16. Lord, answer me because your love is so good.Because of your great kindness, turn to me.
17. Do not hide from me, your servant.I am in trouble. Hurry to help me!
18. Come near and save me.Rescue me from my enemies.
19. You see my shame and disgrace.You know all my enemies and what they have said.
20. Insults have broken my heart.I am weak.I looked for sympathy, but there was none.I found no one to comfort me.
21. They put poison in my food.They gave me vinegar to drink.
22. Let their own feasts cause their ruin.Let their feasts trap them and pay them back.
23. Let their eyes be closed so they cannot see.Let their backs be forever weak from troubles.
24. Pour your anger out on them.Show them how angry you are.
25. May their place be empty.Leave no one to live in their tents.
26. They chase after those you have hurt.They talk about the pain of those you have wounded.
