11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come before you.
According to the greatness of your power,[a]
spare[b] the children appointed to death.
12 And return to our neighbors sevenfold upon them[c]
their taunts with which they taunted you, O Lord.
13 Then we, your people and the flock of your pasture,
we will give thanks to you forever.
Generation after generation[d]
we will tell of your praise.
