bLet me see Your vengeance on them;
For I have pleaded my cause before You.

From the hand of evildoers.

15 Let the man be cursed
Who brought news to my father, saying,
“A male child has been born to you!”
Making him very glad.

Making him very glad.
16 And let that man be like the cities
Which the Lord aoverthrew, and did not relent;
Let him bhear the cry in the morning
And the shouting at noon,
Which the Lord aoverthrew, and did not relent;
Let him bhear the cry in the morning
And the shouting at noon,
17 aBecause he did not kill me from the womb,
That my mother might have been my grave,
And her womb always enlarged with me.
That my mother might have been my grave,
And her womb always enlarged with me.
18 aWhy did I come forth from the womb to bsee labor and sorrow,
That my days should be consumed with shame?
That my days should be consumed with shame?
