18. Draw near unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of my enemies.
19. You have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: my adversaries are all before you.
20. Reproach has broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21. They gave me also gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22. Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24. Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
25. Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26. For they persecute him whom you have smitten; and they talk of the grief of those whom you have wounded.
27. Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into your righteousness.
