The impious hath said in his heart - There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.

Then did the earth shake and quake, Even, the foundations of the mountains, were deeply moved, Yea they did shake, because he was angry.

Then did Yahweh thunder in the heavens, and the Highest uttered his voice, - hail, and live coals of fire.

For, all his regulations, were before me, and, his statutes, did I not put from me:

Then did I beat them in pieces, like dust on the face of the wind. Like the mire in the lanes, did I scatter them.

Give them, according to their deed, and, according to the wrong of their practices, - According to the work of their own hands, give thou unto them, Bring back their own dealing to themselves.

I have been forgotten, like one dead - out of mind, I have been as a missing vessel.

There did the workers of iniquity fall, - thrust down and not able to rise!

For, not by their own sword, gat they possession of the land, Nor did, their own arm, win victory for them, - But thine own right hand, and thine own arm, and the light of thy face, Because thou hadst accepted them.

Lo! in iniquity, was I brought forth, And, in sin, did my mother conceive me.

A net, did they fix for my steps, My soul was bowed down, - They digged before me a pit, They fell into the midst thereof! Selah.

And, thine, O My Lord, is lovingkindness, - For, thou, wilt pay back unto every man - according to his deed.

Come and see the doings of God, - Fearful in deed toward the sons of men:

He turned the sea into dry land, Through the stream, crossed they over on foot, There did we rejoice in him:

Unto him - with my mouth, did I cry, And high praise was under my tongue.

The food of the mighty, each one did eat, Nourishment, sent he them to the full;

So they did eat and were abundantly filled, When, what they longed for, he had brought them: -

If he slew of them, then they sought him, Yea they turned, and did earnestly seek GOD;

So they spake him fair with their mouth, And, with their tongue, did promise him falsely;

Yea he led them securely, and they dreaded not, And, their enemies, the sea did cover.

But they tested and resisted God Most High, And, his testimonies, did not observe;

His priests, by the sword, did fall, And, his widows, were not able to bewail.

Howbeit he rejected the tent of Joseph, And, the tribe of Ephraim, did not choose:

So he did shepherd them, according to the singleness of his heart, And, with the discernment of his hands, used he to guide them.

Among the dead, is my couch, - Like the slain that lie in the grave, Where thou rememberest them no more, Yea, they, from thy hand, are cut off;

For the dead, wilt thou perform a wonder? Or shall, the shades, arising, give thee thanks? Selah.

Whose, is the sea, for, he, made it, And, the dry land, his hands, did form.

Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor, - and did eat sacrifices to the dead:

Many times, did he rescue them, - But, they, rebelled by their counsel, and sank low in their iniquity.

He will judge among the nations - full of dead bodies! He hath shattered the head over a land far extended:

The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;

Yah, chastened me sore, But, unto death, did not deliver me.

Like the dew of Hermon, which descended upon the mountains of Zion, - for, there, did Yahweh command the blessing, Life, unto times age-abiding?
