20. Their insults have broken my heart,and I am in despair.If only one person would show some pity;if only one would turn and comfort me.
21. But instead, they give me poison for food;they offer me sour wine for my thirst.
22. Let the bountiful table set before them become a snareand their prosperity become a trap.
23. Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see,and make their bodies shake continually.
24. Pour out your fury on them;consume them with your burning anger.
25. Let their homes become desolateand their tents be deserted.
26. To the one you have punished, they add insult to injury;they add to the pain of those you have hurt.
27. Pile their sins up high,and don’t let them go free.
28. Erase their names from the Book of Life;don’t let them be counted among the righteous.
29. I am suffering and in pain.Rescue me, O God, by your saving power.
