Hear, O our God, for we are despised; turn their reproach upon their own heads, and give them as spoils to a land of captivity.

Do not cover their iniquity, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before You; for they have provoked You to anger before the builders.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

Let them be continually before Jehovah, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth;

Remember, O Jehovah, against the sons of Edom the day of Jerusalem, who said, Raze it, raze it, to its very foundation!

Blessed is the one who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.

Pour out Your fury on the nations who do not know You, and on the families who do not call on Your name; for they have eaten up Jacob and have devoured him, and have destroyed him, and have made his dwelling place desolate.

Yet, Jehovah, You know all their counsel against me to kill me. Do not forgive their iniquity, nor blot out their sin from Your sight, but let them be overthrown before You; deal with them in the time of Your anger.

The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, the inhabitant of Zion shall say. And, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, Jerusalem shall say.

For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?

From above He has sent fire into my bones and it has laid them low. He has spread a net for my feet; He has turned me back; He has made me desolate and faint all the day.

Our heart is faint because of this; our eyes are dim because of these things.

Therefore all hands shall be faint, and every man's heart shall melt;

I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint within me.

Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my afflictions on your behalf, which is your glory.
