⁷ O Yahweh, You have enticed me, and I was enticed;
You were ^(A)stronger than I, and You prevailed.
I have become a ^(B)laughingstock all day long;
Everyone ^(C)mocks me.
⁸ For each time I speak, I cry aloud;
I ^(D)call out violence and devastation
Because for me the ^(E)word of Yahweh has ^[a]resulted
In reproach and derision all day long.
⁹ But if I say, “I will not ^(F)remember Him
Or speak anymore in His name,”
Then in ^(G)my heart it becomes like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
And I am weary of holding it in,
And ^(H)I cannot prevail.
¹⁰ For ^(I)I have heard the bad report of many,
“^(J)Terror on every side!
^(K)Denounce him; yes, let us denounce him!”
^[b]All my ^(L)trusted friends,
Keeping watch for my fall, say:
“Perhaps he will be ^[c]deceived, so that we may ^(M)prevail against him
And take our revenge on him.”
