60. You have seen how my enemies took revenge on me.You have seen all their evil plans against me.
61. Lord, you have heard their insultsand all their evil plans against me.
62. The words and thoughts of my enemiesare against me all the time.
63. Look! In everything they dothey make fun of me with songs.
64. Punish them as they should be punished, Lord.Pay them back for what they have done.

66. Chase them in anger.Destroy them from the Lord’s earth.
