    a snare for their allies.^(A)

24 Pour out your indignation upon them,
    and let your burning anger overtake them.^(C)
25 May their camp be a desolation;
    let no one live in their tents.^(D)
26 For they persecute those whom you have struck down,
    and those whom you have wounded they attack still more.^[a](E)
27 Add guilt to their guilt;
    may they have no acquittal from you.
²⁸ Let them be blotted out of the book of the living;
    let them not be enrolled among the righteous.^(F)

⁴ Let them be put to shame and dishonor
    who seek after my life.
Let them be turned back and confounded
    who devise evil against me.^(A)
