(A)Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;
    let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
    let my head not refuse it.
Yet (B)my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
When their judges are (C)thrown over the cliff,[a]
    then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
As when one plows and breaks up the earth,
    so shall our bones (D)be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.[b]
