¹⁹ Our pursuers were swifter
    than eagles^(A) in the sky;
they chased us^(B) over the mountains
    and lay in wait for us in the desert.^(C)

²⁰ The Lord’s anointed,^(D) our very life breath,
    was caught in their traps.^(E)
We thought that under his shadow^(F)
    we would live among the nations.

²¹ Rejoice and be glad, Daughter Edom,
    you who live in the land of Uz.^(G)
But to you also the cup^(H) will be passed;
    you will be drunk and stripped naked.^(I)
