Earth, do not cover my blood;

may my cry for help find no resting place.

The one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor

My heart cries out over Moab,

whose fugitives flee as far as Zoar,

to Eglath-shelishiyah;

on the road to Horonaim.

throughout the territory of Moab.

Their wailing reaches Eglaim;

their wailing reaches Beer-elim.

will no longer be heard in her.

Let a cry be heard from their houses

when you suddenly bring raiders against them,

for they have dug a pit to capture me

and have hidden snares for my feet.

the LORD demolished without compassion.

Let him hear an outcry in the morning

and a war cry at noontime

Moab will be shattered;

her little ones will cry out.

at the sound of your sailors’ cries.
