They repay me evil for good, Bereaving my soul.

A lawless man borroweth, and will not repay, But, a righteous man, showeth favour and giveth;

But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.

Putting on light, as a robe, Stretching out the heavens, as a curtain;

Be it his, as a garment he shall wrap round him, and for a girdle he shall, at all times, gird on:

Mine accusers shall be clothed with confusion, and shall wrap about them, like a cloak, their own shame.

They who are sowing with tears, with shouting, shall reap:

O ruined daughter of Babylon, - how happy the man who shall repay thee thy dealing, wherewith thou didst deal with us!
