20. Insults have broken my heart.I’m sick about it.I hoped for sympathy,but there wasn’t any;I hoped for comforters,but couldn’t find any.
21. They gave me poison for food.To quench my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22. Let the table before them become a trap,their offerings a snare.
23. Let their eyes grow too dim to see;make their insides tremble constantly.
24. Pour out your anger on them—let your burning fury catch them.
25. Let their camp be devastated;let no one dwell in their tents.
26. Because they go after those you’ve already struck;they talk about the pain of those you’ve already pierced.
27. Pile guilt on top of their guilt!Don’t let them come into your righteousness!
28. Let them be wiped out of the scroll of life!Let them not be recorded along with the righteous!
29. And me? I’m afflicted.I’m full of pain.Let your salvation keep me safe, God!
30. I will praise God’s name with song;I will magnify him with thanks
