Surely you put them in slippery places; you bring them down to ruin.

How desolate they become in a mere moment! Terrifying judgments make their demise complete!

But I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.

And now they are tearing down all its engravings with axes and crowbars.

They forgot what he had done, the amazing things he had shown them.

They willfully challenged God by asking for food to satisfy their appetite.

So he caused them to die unsatisfied and filled with terror.

Fire consumed their young men, and their virgins remained unmarried.

He chose David, his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds.

Sing a song and play the tambourine, the pleasant sounding harp, and the ten-stringed instrument!

Rise up, O God, and execute judgment on the earth! For you own all the nations.

Cover their faces with shame, so they might seek you, O Lord.

Deliverance goes before him, and prepares a pathway for him.

For you are great and do amazing things. You alone are God.

Your anger overwhelms me; your terrors destroy me.

Your arm is powerful, your hand strong, your right hand victorious.

I have discovered David, my servant. With my holy oil I have anointed him as king.

His dynasty will last forever. His throne will endure before me, like the sun,

You have brought to an end his splendor, and have knocked his throne to the ground.

Yes, we are consumed by your anger; we are terrified by your wrath.
