2 who loves me and is my stronghold,my refuge and my deliverer,my shield and the one in whom I take shelter,who makes nations submit to me.
3 O Lord, of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them?Of what importance is mankind, that you should be concerned about them?
4 People are like a vapor,their days like a shadow that disappears.
5 O Lord, make the sky sink and come down!Touch the mountains and make them smolder!
6 Hurl lightning bolts and scatter them!Shoot your arrows and rout them!
7 Reach down from above!Grab me and rescue me from the surging water,from the power of foreigners,
8 who speak lies,and make false promises.
