¹⁸ The Lord made it known to me and I knew;
    then you showed me their deeds.
¹⁹ But I was ^(A)like a gentle lamb
    led to the slaughter.
I did not know ^(B)it was against me
    they devised schemes, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
    ^(C)let us cut him off from ^(D)the land of the living,
    that his name be remembered no more.”
²⁰ But, O Lord of hosts, who judges righteously,
    who ^(E)tests ^(F)the heart and the mind,
^(G)let me see your vengeance upon them,
    for to you have I committed my cause.
