People lie to one another; they flatter and deceive.

All who hate me whisper insults about me to one another; they plan ways to harm me.

One deep stream calls out to another at the sound of your waterfalls; all your billows and waves overwhelm me.

If we had rejected our God, and spread out our hands in prayer to another god,

They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast, "Who will see them?"

they wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another.

May his days be few! May another take his job!

One generation will praise your deeds to another, and tell about your mighty acts!
