    may my cry^(B) never be laid to rest!^(C)

⁷ “‘For the blood she shed is in her midst:
    She poured it on the bare rock;
she did not pour it on the ground,
    where the dust would cover it.^(A)

²¹ See, the Lord is coming^(A) out of his dwelling^(B)
    to punish^(C) the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will disclose the blood^(D) shed on it;
    the earth will conceal its slain no longer.

¹⁸ If I had cherished sin in my heart,

19 but God has surely listened
