Our cattle will be weighted down with produce. No one will break through our walls, no one will be taken captive, and there will be no terrified cries in our city squares.

None can compare to you among the gods, O Lord! Your exploits are incomparable!

He ordered locusts to come, innumerable grasshoppers.

He brought his people out enriched with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled.

So he used suffering to humble them; they stumbled and no one helped them up.

Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me.

They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them.

There is no actual speech or word, nor is its voice literally heard.

Evil men will soon disappear; you will stare at the spot where they once were, but they will be gone.

For I am overcome with shame and my whole body is sick.

For he will rescue the needy when they cry out for help, and the oppressed who have no defender.

They have made their blood flow like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury them.

Those who love your law are completely secure; nothing causes them to stumble.

It emerges from the distant horizon, and goes from one end of the sky to the other; nothing can escape its heat.

How blessed is the one whose wrongdoing the Lord does not punish, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

I am like a man who cannot hear and is incapable of arguing his defense.

Carefully consider this, you who reject God! Otherwise I will rip you to shreds and no one will be able to rescue you.

I sink into the deep mire where there is no solid ground; I am in deep water, and the current overpowers me.

Their insults are painful and make me lose heart; I look for sympathy, but receive none, for comforters, but find none.

Over here is the deep, wide sea, which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, living things both small and large.
