Though the flock is cut off from the fold
And there are no cattle in the stalls,

The troubles of my heart are multiplied;
Bring me out of my distresses.
When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,
Your comforts delight me.

In the vineyards there will be no singing or joyful sound;
No treader treads out wine in the presses,
For I (God) put an end to the joyful shouting.

Which head or tail, [high] palm branch or [low] bulrush, may do.
