19 Hear me, O Lord,
    and (A)listen to the voice of my adversaries.
20 (B)Should good be repaid with evil?
    Yet (C)they have dug a pit for my life.
(D)Remember how I stood before you
    to speak good for them,
    to turn away your wrath from them.
21 Therefore (E)deliver up their children to famine;
    give them over to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless (F)and widowed.
    May their men meet death by pestilence,
    their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.
