Grasp buckler and shield and rise to my aid.

For like the grass they will dry up quickly, and like green vegetation they will wither.

My God, rescue me from [the] hand of [the] wicked, from [the] {grasp} of [the] evildoer and [the] oppressor,

May he descend like rain on mown grass, like showers watering [the] earth.

May there be an abundance of grain in the land [even] on [the] top of [the] mountains. May his crop sway like the [trees of] Lebanon, and may [those] from [the] city blossom like the grass of the earth.

You sweep them away [like a flood]. They fall asleep. In the morning [they are] like grass [that] sprouts anew.

When the wicked flourish like grass and all [the] workers of evil blossom, [it is] so they can be destroyed forever.

My heart is struck like grass and withers. Indeed, I forget to eat my bread.

My days [are] like a lengthened shadow, and I wither like grass.

As for man, his days [are] like the grass. As the flower of the field, so he blossoms.

[who] causes grass to grow for the cattle and herbs for the service of humankind, to bring forth food from the earth,

And [so] they exchanged their glory for an image of an ox that eats grass.

Let them be like grass on [the] housetops, that withers before it grows up,

Protect me from [the] {grasp} of [the] trap they have laid for me, and [from the] snares of evildoers.

who covers [the] heavens with clouds, who provides rain for the earth, who causes grass to grow on the mountains.
