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

For all of our days dwindle away in your rage; we complete our years like a sigh.

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

The mountains skipped like rams, [the] hills like {lambs}.

O mountains, [that] you skipped like rams? O hills, like lambs?

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