56 Be gracious to me, God, for a man has ^[d](A)trampled upon me;
^[e]Fighting all day long he ^(B)oppresses me.

³ Then they would have ^(A)swallowed us alive,
When their ^(B)anger was kindled against us;

¹² Let’s ^(A)swallow them alive like Sheol,
Even whole, like those who ^(B)go down to the pit;

¹⁶ All ^(A)your enemies
Have opened their mouths wide against you;
They ^[a]hiss and ^(B)gnash their teeth.
They say, “We have ^(C)engulfed her!
This certainly is the ^(D)day which we awaited;
We have reached it, we have seen it!”
