23 ^aLet their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see;
And make their loins shake continually. ‡

24 ^aPour out Your indignation upon them,
And let Your wrathful anger take hold of them. ‡

26 For they persecute the ones ^aYou have struck,
And talk of the grief of those You have wounded. ‡

27 ^aAdd iniquity to their iniquity,
^bAnd let them not come into Your righteousness. ‡
