18. Draw near to my soul, and redeem it.Ransom me because of my enemies.
19. You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor.My adversaries are all before you.
20. Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness.I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;for comforters, but I found none.
21. They also gave me gall for my food.In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
22. Let their table before them become a snare.May it become a retribution and a trap.
23. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see.Let their backs be continually bent.
24. Pour out your indignation on them.Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
25. Let their habitation be desolate.Let no one dwell in their tents.
