20Should good be repaid with evil?
         For they have dug a pit for me.
         Remember how I stood before You
         To speak good on their behalf,
         So as to turn away Your wrath from them.

21Therefore, give their children over to famine
         And deliver them up to the power of the sword;
         And let their wives become childless and widowed.
         Let their men also be smitten to death,
         Their young men struck down by the sword in battle.

22May an outcry be heard from their houses,
         When You suddenly bring raiders upon them;
         For they have dug a pit to capture me
         And hidden snares for my feet.

23Yet You, O LORD, know
         All their deadly designs against me;
         Do not forgive their iniquity
         Or blot out their sin from Your sight.
         But may they be overthrown before You;
         Deal with them in the time of Your anger!
