19 Do give heed to me, O Yahweh,
And listen to the voice of those who contend against me!
20 (A)Should good be repaid with evil?
For they have (B)dug a pit for [a]me.
Remember how I (C)stood before You
To speak good on their behalf,
So as to turn away Your wrath from them.
21 Therefore, (D)give their children over to famine
And deliver them up to the [b]power of the sword;
And let their wives become (E)childless and (F)widowed.
Let their men also be [c]smitten to death,
Their (G)young men struck down by the sword in battle.
