He turns rivers into a wilderness,And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

He turns a wilderness into a pool of waterAnd a dry land into springs of water;

Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom,The day of [the fall of] Jerusalem,Who said “Down, down [with her]To her very foundation.”

As when the one plows and breaks open the ground [and the soil scatters behind him],Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol [by the injustices of the wicked].

For the enemy has persecuted me,He has crushed my life down to the ground;He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have been long dead.

The Lord lifts up the humble;He casts the wicked down to the ground.
