You have made mankind
like the fish of the sea,
like marine creatures that have no ruler.

Since you have plundered many nations,
all the peoples who remain will plunder you—
because of human bloodshed
and violence against lands, cities,
and all who live in them.

You have planned shame for your house
by wiping out many peoples
and sinning against your own self.

Lord, I have heard the report about You;
Lord, I stand in awe of Your deeds.
Revive Your work in these years;
make it known in these years.
In Your wrath remember mercy!
