5O God, ◄you see the sins that I have committed/my sins are not hidden from you►. You know that I have foolishly disobeyed your laws.
6O Yahweh God, you who are the commander of the armies of heaven, do not allow the wrong things that I have done to cause those who trust in you to be disappointed/disillusioned. O God, you whom we Israeli people worship, do not allow me to cause your people to be humiliated.
7People have insulted/ridiculed me because I am devoted to you. They have thoroughly humiliated IDM me.
8Even my own older brothers act as if they do not know me; they treat me like a foreigner.
9Some people have despised your temple; but my zeal for keeping your temple holy is like a fire burning inside me. So it is as though those who are insulting you are also insulting me.
10When I have humbled myself and ◄fasted/abstained from eating food► to show my sadness about the disgraceful things that they have done to your temple, they just insult me.
11When I put on rough sackcloth to show that I am sad, they laugh at IDM me.
12Even the elders of the city say bad things about me. The drunkards of the city sing disgusting songs about me.
13But Yahweh, I will continue praying to you. At the time that you choose, answer me and rescue me because you faithfully love me.
14Do not allow me to sink anymore in the mud. Rescue me from those who hate me! Lift me up out of these deep waters!
15Do not allow flood waters to swirl around me, do not allow the deep mud to swallow me; keep me from sinking into the pit of death MET.
16O Yahweh, answer my prayer and help me because you are good and love me faithfully.
17Do not ◄hide yourself from/refuse to hear► me; answer me quickly because I am in great trouble.
18Come near to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.
19You know that I am insulted and that people cause me to feel ashamed and dishonored; you know who all my enemies are.
20Their insults have deeply offended me, and I ◄feel helpless/am in despair►. I searched for someone who would pity me, but there was no one. I wanted someone to encourage/comfort me, but there were none.
21Instead, they gave me food that tasted like poison, and when I was thirsty, they gave me sour wine to drink.
22I hope/desire that the feasts MTY that they enjoy will ◄become a snare for/bring trouble to► them, and that those whom they invite to the sacrificial feasts will also be trapped.
23I hope/desire that their eyesight will become dim so that they cannot see anything, and that their backs/bodies will become weaker and weaker.
24Show them that you are very angry with them! Because of your great/furious anger, chase after them and catch them.
25Cause their towns to become abandoned/deserted and that there will be no one left to live in their tents/houses.
26Do this because they persecute those whom you have punished, ◄they talk about the sins of/they want to hurt even more► those whom you have wounded.
27Keep making a record of all their sins, do not acquit/pardon them for the evil things that they have done.
28Erase their names SYN from the book containing the names of those who have eternal life; do not include them in the list of righteous people.
