19 Do not let those gloat over me
    who are my enemies(A) without cause;
do not let those who hate me without reason(B)
    maliciously wink the eye.(C)
20 They do not speak peaceably,
    but devise false accusations(D)
    against those who live quietly in the land.
21 They sneer(E) at me and say, “Aha! Aha!(F)
    With our own eyes we have seen it.”

22 Lord, you have seen(G) this; do not be silent.
    Do not be far(H) from me, Lord.
23 Awake,(I) and rise(J) to my defense!
    Contend(K) for me, my God and Lord.
24 Vindicate me in your righteousness, Lord my God;
    do not let them gloat(L) over me.

12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.(E)
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a](F)
    but deliver us from the evil one.[b](G)

14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.(H) 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.(I)
