let the enemy of my soul pursue, and overtake and trample my life into the ground, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah

The words of Yahweh [are] pure words [like] silver refined in the crucible on the ground, refined seven times.

Now they surround us at our [every] step. They {intend} {to pin} [me] to the ground.

And I ground them like dust {in the wind}, I emptied them out like mud of [the] streets.

My foot stands on level ground. In assemblies I will bless Yahweh.

For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our {body} clings to the ground.

He turned [the] sea into dry ground; they passed through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him.

They have set fire to your sanctuary. They have defiled to the ground, the dwelling place for your name.

They were destroyed at En-dor; they became dung for the ground.

Show us, O Yahweh, your loyal love, and grant us your salvation.

Faithfulness will sprout from [the] ground, and righteousness will look down from heaven.

Turn to me and be gracious to me. Give your strength to your servant, and grant victory to the son of your maidservant.

You have also turned back the edge of his sword and have not helped him stand [his ground] in the battle.

You have made his splendor to cease, and cast his throne to the ground.

You send forth your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of [the] ground.

And they ate up all [the] vegetation in their land, and they ate up the fruit of their ground.

He turns rivers into a wilderness and springs of water into thirsty ground,

O Yahweh, please save; O Yahweh, please grant success.

Do not grant, O Yahweh, [the] desires of [the] wicked. Do not allow [them] to attain their plan, lest they be exalted. Selah

For [the] enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground. He has made me dwell in dark places like [those] long dead.

Teach me to do your will, for you [are] my God; your Spirit [is] good. Lead me onto level ground.

Yahweh helps the afflicted up; [he] brings [the] wicked down to [the] ground.
