19 Hear me, O Lord,
    and (A)listen to the voice of my adversaries.
20 (B)Should good be repaid with evil?
    Yet (C)they have dug a pit for my life.
(D)Remember how I stood before you
    to speak good for them,
    to turn away your wrath from them.
21 Therefore (E)deliver up their children to famine;
    give them over to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless (F)and widowed.
    May their men meet death by pestilence,
    their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.
22 (G)May a cry be heard from their houses,
    when you bring the plunderer suddenly upon them!
For (H)they have dug a pit to take me
    (I)and laid snares for my feet.
23 Yet (J)you, O Lord, know
    all their plotting to kill me.
(K)Forgive not their iniquity,
    nor blot out their sin from your sight.
Let them be overthrown before you;
    deal with them in the time of your anger.
