56. You heard me call, “Do not let your ear be deafto my cry for help.”
57. You drew near on the day I called you;you said, “Do not fear!”
58. You pleaded my case, Lord,you redeemed my life.
59. You see, Lord, how I am wronged;do me justice!
60. You see all their vindictiveness,all their plots against me.
61. You hear their reproach, Lord,all their plots against me,
62. The whispered murmurings of my adversaries,against me all day long;
63. Look! Whether they sit or stand,I am the butt of their taunt.
64. Give them what they deserve, Lord,according to their deeds;
65. Give them hardness of heart;your curse be upon them;
66. Pursue them in wrath and destroy themfrom under the Lord’s heaven!
