Schin

21 They have heard that I sigh; and there is no comforter for me; all my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it. Thou hast brought the day that thou hast spoken of, but they shall be like unto me.

Tau

22 Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them as thou hast done unto me for all my rebellions; for my sighs are many, and my heart is filled with pain.

21 “People have heard my groaning,(A)
    but there is no one to comfort me.(B)
All my enemies have heard of my distress;
    they rejoice(C) at what you have done.
May you bring the day(D) you have announced
    so they may become like me.

22 “Let all their wickedness come before you;
    deal with them
as you have dealt with me
    because of all my sins.(E)
My groans(F) are many
    and my heart is faint.”

21 They heard how I was groaning,
    with no one to comfort me.
All my enemies heard of my trouble;
    they are glad that you have done it.
Bring on the day you have announced,
    and let them be as I am.

22 Let all their evil doing come before you;
    and deal with them
as you have dealt with me
    because of all my transgressions;
for my groans are many
    and my heart is faint.

21 They have heard that I (A)am sighing;
There is no one to comfort me;
All my enemies have heard of the [a]evil done to me;
They (B)rejoice that You have done it.
You have brought the day which You have proclaimed,
So that they will become (C)like me.

Tav

22 Let all their evil come before You;
And (D)deal severely with them as You have dealt severely with me
For all my transgressions;
For my groans are great and my heart is faint.”
