The Lord says, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,

You make mankind return to the dust, and say, “Return, O people!”

Though you have allowed me to experience much trouble and distress, revive me once again! Bring me up once again from the depths of the earth!

When he struck them down, they sought his favor; they turned back and longed for God.

They again challenged God, and offended the Holy One of Israel.

O God, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!

How can I repay the Lord for all his acts of kindness to me?

I consider my actions and follow your rules.

May your loyal followers turn to me, those who know your rules.

O Lord, restore our well-being, just as the streams in the arid south are replenished.

Relent, Lord, rescue me! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!

The countries are assembled all around you; take once more your rightful place over them!

He becomes the victim of his own destructive plans and the violence he intended for others falls on his own head.

When my enemies turn back, they trip and are defeated before you.

The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,

The Lord repaid me for my godly deeds; he rewarded my blameless behavior.

I chase my enemies and catch them; I do not turn back until I wipe them out.

He restores my strength. He leads me down the right paths for the sake of his reputation.

O Lord, how long are you going to just stand there and watch this? Rescue me from their destructive attacks; guard my life from the young lions!

You made us retreat from the enemy. Those who hate us take whatever they want from us.
