¹⁵ I live in disgrace^(A) all day long,
    and my face is covered with shame^(B)

¹⁶ at the taunts^(A) of those who reproach and revile^(B) me,
    because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.^(C)

¹⁷ He will respond to the prayer^(A) of the destitute;
    he will not despise their plea.

¹⁸ Let this be written^(B) for a future generation,
    that a people not yet created^(C) may praise the Lord:
¹⁹ “The Lord looked down^(D) from his sanctuary on high,
    from heaven he viewed the earth,
²⁰ to hear the groans of the prisoners^(E)
    and release those condemned to death.”

    give yourselves no rest,^(B)

⁷ and give him no rest^(A) till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise^(B) of the earth.
