I was at ease, but he shattered me;

he seized me by the scruff of the neck

and smashed me to pieces.

He set me up as his target;

Yet the righteous person will hold to his way,

and the one whose hands are clean will grow stronger.

A trap catches him by the heel;

a noose seizes him.

Those in the west are appalled at his fate,

while those in the east tremble in horror.

When I think about it, I am terrified

and my body trembles in horror.

My feet have followed in his tracks;

I have kept to his way and not turned aside.

He obscures the view of his throne,

spreading his cloud over it.

Now my life is poured out before me,

and days of suffering have seized me.

so it may seize the edges of the earth

and shake the wicked out of it?

Trembling seized them there,

agony like that of a woman in labor,

Be gracious to me, God, for a man is trampling me;

he fights and oppresses me all day long.

Yet I am always with you;

you hold my right hand.

You have kept me from closing my eyes;

I am troubled and cannot speak.

Fury seizes me because of the wicked

who reject your instruction.

Happy is he who takes your little ones

and dashes them against the rocks.

even there your hand will lead me;

your right hand will hold on to me.
