²² Then let my arm fall from my shoulder,
Let my arm be torn from the socket.

⁶ If I do not remember you,
Let my ^(A)tongue cling to the roof of my mouth—
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.

⁴ If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me,
Or ^(A)have plundered my enemy without cause,
⁵ Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me;
Yes, let him trample my life to the earth,
And lay my honor in the dust. Selah

¹⁵ From the wicked their ^(A)light is withheld,
And ^(B)the ^[a]upraised arm is broken.

⁴⁰ Then let ^(A)thistles grow instead of wheat,
And weeds instead of barley.”

¹⁰ Then let my wife grind for ^(A)another,
And let others bow down over her.
