They wander around for food [to devour]
And growl all night if they are not satisfied.

“I am the Lord your God,
Who brought you up from the land of Egypt.
Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

You give it to them, they gather it up;
You open Your hand, they are filled and satisfied with good [things].

From men with Your hand, O Lord,
From men of the world [these moths of the night] whose portion [of enjoyment] is in this life—idle and vain,
And whose belly You fill with Your treasure;
They are satisfied with children,
And they leave what they have left [of wealth] to their children.

The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
The floods have lifted up their voice;
The floods lift up their pounding waves.
