O Lord, unto me give Thou heed, 19
And hark to the voice of my plea![720]
Shall evil be rendered for good, 20
That they dig a pit for my life?[721]
O remember my standing before Thee,
To bespeak their good—
To turn Thy fury from off them.
Give therefore their sons to famine, 21
And spill them out to the sword.
Let their wives be widows and childless
