Please stop wounding me! You have almost beaten me to death!

would not God discover it, for he knows one’s thoughts?

With an east wind you shatter the large ships.

We reflect on your loyal love, O God, within your temple.

For you are my deliverer; under your wings I rejoice.

Certainly you will see it with your very own eyes – you will see the wicked paid back.

O Lord, the God who avenges! O God who avenges, reveal your splendor!

Sing to him! Make music to him! Tell about all his miraculous deeds!

His descendants will be powerful on the earth; the godly will be blessed.

May the Lord’s name be praised now and forevermore!

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord before all his people,

I will not die, but live, and I will proclaim what the Lord has done.

I remember your ancient regulations, O Lord, and console myself.

O Lord, your loyal love fills the earth. Teach me your statutes!
