20“Lord, see my anguish!

My heart is broken

and my soul despairs,

for I have rebelled against you.

In the streets the sword kills,

and at home there is only death.

21“Others heard my groans,

but no one turned to comfort me.

When my enemies heard about my troubles,

they were happy to see what you had done.

Oh, bring the day you promised,

when they will suffer as I have suffered.

22“Look at all their evil deeds, Lord.

Punish them,

as you have punished me

for all my sins.

My groans are many,

and I am sick at heart.”
