Their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks. They will hear my words, which have prevailed,
as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground. Our bones have been scattered beside Hell.
For Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you. In you, I have hoped. Do not take away my soul.
Protect me from the snare that they have set up for me and from the scandals of those who work iniquity.
The sinners will fall into his net. I am alone, until I pass over.
