<p class="poetry">Their prosperity causes them to do wrong;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">their thoughts are sinful.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">God heard and was angry;p> <p class="poetry">he completely rejected Israel.p>

<p class="poetry">He delivered his people over to the sword,p> <p class="poetry">and was angry with his chosen nation.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">Your anger overwhelms me;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">your terrors destroy me.p>

<p class="poetry">The raging waterp> <p class="poetry">would have overwhelmed us.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">and led Israel through its midst,p> <p class="poetry">for his loyal love endures,p>

<p class="poetry">People<n id="1" /> are like a vapor,p> <p class="poetry">their days like a shadow that disappears.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">the birds in the sky, the fish in the seap> <p class="poetry">and everything that moves through the currents<n id="1" /> of the seas.p>

<p class="poetry">From the brightness in front of him camep> <p class="poetry">hail and fiery coals.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">Why did you break down its walls,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">so that all who pass by pluck its fruit?<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">It said:<n id="1" /> &#8220;I removed the burden from his shoulder;p> <p class="poetry">his hands were released from holding the basket.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">All who pass by<n id="1" /> have robbed him;p> <p class="poetry">he has become an object of disdain to his neighbors.p>

<p class="poetry">You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross,p> <p class="poetry">so that they would not cover the earth again.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">Take away the insults that I dread!<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">Indeed,<n id="2" /> your regulations are good.p>
