20 ^hShould good be repaid with evil?
Yet ⁱthey have dug a pit for my life.

to speak good for them,
to turn away your wrath from them.

give them over to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless ^land widowed.
May their men meet death by pestilence,
their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.
