⁷ For the blood she shed is inside it;
    she placed it on a bare rock;
she did not pour it out on the ground,
    to cover it with earth.^(A)

²¹ For the Lord comes out from his place
    to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
the earth will disclose the blood shed on it
    and will no longer cover its slain.^(A)

¹⁸ If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened.^(A)
19 But truly God has listened;
    he has heard the words of my prayer.^(B)

²⁹ O land, land, land,
    hear the word of the Lord!^(A)

⁹ Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
    you shall cry for help, and he will say, “Here I am.”

¹⁵ When you stretch out your hands,
    I will hide my eyes from you;
even though you make many prayers,
    I will not listen;
    your hands are full of blood.^(A)
