I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax;
It is melted [by anguish] within me.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
And Sirion (Mount Hermon) like a young, wild ox.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked and guilty perish before [the presence of] God.

And it will please the Lord better than an ox
Or a young bull with horns and hoofs.

But my horn [my emblem of strength and power] You have exalted like that of a wild ox;
I am anointed with fresh oil [for Your service].

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Thus they exchanged [the true God who was] their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass.
