22 Let their table set before them be a snare,

and let it be a trap for their allies.y

23 Let their eyes grow too dim to see,

and let their hips continually quake.z

24 Pour out your rage on them,

and let your burning anger overtake them.aa

25 Make their fortification desolate;

may no one live in their tents.ab

26 For they persecute the one you struck

and talk about the pain of those you wounded.ac

27 Charge them with crime on top of crime;

do not let them share in your righteousness.ad

28 Let them be erased from the book of life

and not be recorded with the righteous.a
