Come, behold the works of Jehovah, who makes ruins on the earth;

Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down into ruin.

Lift up Your feet to the never-ending ruins, even all that the enemy has done wickedly in the sanctuary.

But You, O God, will bring them down into the pit of ruin; bloody and deceitful men shall not live half their days; but I will trust in You.

You have broken down all his hedges; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

who redeems your life from ruin; who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

Shall Your loving-kindness be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in ruin?

Let his sons always beg and be vagabonds, and seek food out of their ruins.
