"His angerhas tornme and huntedme down,He has gnashedat me with His teeth;My adversaryglaresat me.
"Whydo You hideYour faceAnd considerme Your enemy?
"You putmy feetin the stocksAnd watchallmy paths;You seta limitfor the solesof my feet,
"O you who tearyourselfin your anger--For your sakeis the earthto be abandoned,Or the rockto be movedfrom its place?
"He has also kindledHis angeragainstme And consideredme as His enemy.
"You have becomecruelto me; With the mightof Your handYou persecuteme.
Behold,He inventspretextsagainstme; He countsme as His enemy.
"For the arrowsof the Almightyare withinme, Their poisonmy spiritdrinks;The terrorsof Godare arrayedagainst me.
Like godlessjestersat a feast,They gnashedat me with their teeth.
The wickedplotsagainst the righteousAnd gnashesat him with his teeth.
"Nowconsiderthis,you who forgetGod,OrI will tear[you] in pieces, and therewill be noneto deliver.
Allyour enemiesHave openedtheir mouthswide againstyou; They hissand gnash[their] teeth.They say,"We have swallowed[her] up! Surelythisis the dayfor whichwe waited;We have reached[it], we have seen[it]."
He is to me like a bearlyingin wait,[Like] a lionin secretplaces.
For I [will be] like a lionto EphraimAnd like a younglionto the houseof Judah.I, even I, will tearto pieces and goaway, I will carryaway, and therewill be noneto deliver.
"Come,let us returnto the LORD.For He has torn[us], but He will healus; He has wounded[us], but He will bandageus.
Do not rejoiceover me, O my enemy.ThoughI fallI will rise;ThoughI dwellin darkness,the LORDis a lightfor me.
Nowwhen they heardthis,they were cutto the quick,and they [began] gnashingtheir teethat him.
