I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are disjointed;
my heart is like wax,
melting within me.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
and Sirion, like a young wild ox.

As smoke is blown away,
so You blow them away.
As wax melts before the fire,
so the wicked are destroyed before God.

That will please Yahweh more than an ox,
more than a bull with horns and hooves.

You have lifted up my horn
like that of a wild ox;
I have been anointed with oil.

The mountains melt like wax
at the presence of the Lord—
at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

They exchanged their glory
for the image of a grass-eating ox.
