And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

Verse 28 is found in chapter 16 of Judges. Samson asks the young man guiding him to place his hands on the central pillars and prays for God to give him strength one last time. He brings down the temple and dies along with many Philistines. The final statement says that he killed more at his death than during his life. The episode concludes his story by showing simultaneously judgment against the oppressors, the final recovery of his mission, and the enormous personal cost of a life marked by destructive choices.

Simson aber rief den HERRN an und sprach: Herr, HERR, gedenke mein und stärke mich doch, Gott, diesmal, daß ich für meine beiden Augen mich einmal räche an den Philistern!
Entonces clamó Samsón a Jehová, y dijo: Señor Jehová, acuérdate ahora de mí, y esfuérzame, te ruego, solamente esta vez, oh Dios, para que de una vez tome venganza de los Filisteos, por mis dos ojos.
Sansón clamó a Jehová y dijo: «Señor Jehová, acuérdate de mí, por favor. Dame fuerzas, te ruego, solo esta vez, oh Dios, para que de una sola vez me vengue de los filisteos por mis dos ojos».
Alors Samson invoqua l'Eternel, et dit: Seigneur Eternel! souviens-toi de moi, je te prie; ô Dieu! donne-moi de la force seulement cette fois, et que d'un seul coup je tire vengeance des Philistins pour mes deux yeux!
Allora Sansone invocò il Signore, e disse: Signore Iddio, ricordati, ti prego, di me, e fortificami pur questa volta, o Dio; acciocchè ad un tratto io mi vendichi de’ Filistei, per li miei due occhi.
Então Sansão clamou ao SENHOR, e disse: Senhor DEUS, peço-te que te lembres de mim, e fortalece-me agora só esta vez, ó Deus, para que de uma vez me vingue dos filisteus, pelos meus dois olhos.
