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.

19 Listen to me, Lord;
    hear what my accusers(A) are saying!
20 Should good be repaid with evil?(B)
    Yet they have dug a pit(C) for me.
Remember that I stood(D) before you
    and spoke in their behalf(E)
    to turn your wrath away from them.
21 So give their children over to famine;(F)
    hand them over to the power of the sword.(G)
Let their wives be made childless and widows;(H)
    let their men be put to death,
    their young men(I) slain by the sword in battle.
