23 Yet, Lord, You know all their counsel
Which is against me, to slay me.

Nor blot out their sin from Your sight;
But let them be overthrown before You.

22 (A)Let their table become a snare before them,
And their well-being a trap.
23 (B)Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see;
And make their loins shake continually.

(G)And let them not come into Your righteousness.
28 Let them (H)be blotted out of the book of the living,
(I)And not be written with the righteous.
