Give Your attention to me, LORD, And listen to ^(F1)what my opponents are saying!

^(C1)Should good be repaid with evil? For they have ^(C2)dug a pit for ^(F1)me. Remember how I ^(C3)stood before You To speak good in their behalf, So as to turn Your wrath away from them.

Therefore, ^(C1)give their children over to famine And turn them over to the ^(F1)power of the sword; And let their wives become ^(C2)childless and ^(C3)widowed. Let their men also be slaughtered to death, Their ^(C4)young men struck and killed by the sword in battle.

May a ^(C1)cry be heard from their houses When You suddenly bring raiders upon them; ^(C2)For they have dug a pit to capture me And ^(C3)hidden snares for my feet.

But You, LORD, know All their ^(F1)deadly schemes against me; ^(C1)Do not ^(F2)forgive their wrongdoing Or wipe out their sin from Your sight. But may they be ^(F3)(C2)overthrown before You; Deal with them in the ^(C3)time of Your anger!
