ר (Resh)
1:20 Look, O Lord! I am distressed; 1
my stomach is in knots! 2
My heart is pounding 3 inside me.
Yes, I was terribly rebellious! 4
Out in the street the sword bereaves a mother of her children; 5
Inside the house death is present. 6
ש (Sin/Shin)
1:21 They have heard 7 that I groan,
yet there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
they are glad that you 8 have brought it about. 9
Bring about 10 the day of judgment 11 that you promised 12
so that 13 they may end up 14 like me!
ת (Tav)
1:22 Let all their wickedness come before you;
afflict 15 them
just as you have afflicted 16 me 17
because of all my acts of rebellion. 18
For my groans are many,
and my heart is sick with sorrow. 19
