at the voice of him who reproaches and reviles, at the presence of the enemy and avenger.
If I am wicked, woe unto me; and if I am righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of shame; look at my affliction!
O God, how long will the adversary revile? Will the enemy blaspheme Your name forever?
Remember this, that the enemy has reviled, O Lord, and that a foolish people has blasphemed Your name.
And render to our neighbors sevenfold into their lap the reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.
Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength because of Your enemies, to silence the enemy and the avenger.
Incline Your ear, O Lord, and hear. Open Your eyes, O Lord, and see, and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
