You visit the earth and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, For so You have prepared it.

Reproach has broken my heart, And I am full of heaviness; I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.

They also gave me gall for my food, And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

For they persecute the ones You have struck, And talk of the grief of those You have wounded.
