Legacy Standard Bible
19 But I was like a gentle (A)lamb led to the slaughter;
And I did not know that they had (B)devised thoughts against me, saying,
“Let us make the tree with its [a]fruit a ruin,
And (C)let us cut him off from the (D)land of the living,
That his (E)name be remembered no more.”

Who (G)tests the [b]insides and the heart,
Let me see Your vengeance on them,
For to You have I revealed my case.

let me see your vengeance(H) on them,
for to you I have committed my cause.
