21 They gave me also bitter gall For food, which they would have me eat; They gave me vinegar to drink In scorn, when as my thirst was great.
22 Let their own Table be their snare, Do thou to them in justice make Their welfare and posterity Become a trap themselves to take.
23 And let their eyes so darkened be, That pleasant light do them forsake; And let their weakened Joins by thee Be made continually to shake.
23 And let their eyes so darkened be, That pleasant light do them forsake; And let their weakned Ioyns by thee Be made continually to shake.
24 Thy dreadful indignation Pour out upon these wicked men; And let thy hot displeasure, and Thy heavy wrath take hold on them.
