From men who are thy hand, O Yahweh, From the men of this age, whose portion, is among the living, and, with thy treasure, thou fillest their bosom, - They must be satisfied with sons, And must leave their abundance to their children: -

I will make thee discreet, I will point out to thee the way which thou must go, I will fix upon thee mine eye.

For, whom, thou thyself, hadst smitten, they pursued, And, unto the pain of thy wounded ones, they must needs add.

Therefore must his people return thither, And, the waters of abundance, are drained by them;
