Easy-to-Read Version

15 I wish death would take my enemies by surprise!
    I wish the earth would open up and swallow them alive,[a]
    because they plan such terrible things together.

16 I will call to God for help,
    and the Lord will save me.
17 I speak to God morning, noon, and night.
    I tell him what upsets me, and he listens to me!
