23 I know, O Lord, that the way of humans is not in their control,
    that mortals as they walk cannot direct their steps.(A)
24 Correct me, O Lord, but in just measure;
    not in your anger, or you will bring me to nothing.(B)

25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you
    and on the peoples that do not call on your name,
for they have devoured Jacob;
    they have devoured him and consumed him
    and have laid waste his habitation.(C)

23 I know, O Yahweh, that to the human is not his own way,
    nor to a person is the walking and the directing of his own step.
24 Chastise[a] me, O Yahweh, but in moderation,
    not in your anger, lest you eradicate me.
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you,
    and on the peoples that do not call on your name,
for they have devoured Jacob,
    they have devoured and consumed him,
    and they have caused his settlement to be desolate.
