23 Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself.
    It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24 Yahweh, correct me, but gently;
    not in your anger,
    lest you reduce me to nothing.
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you,
    and on the families that don’t call on your name;
for they have devoured Jacob.
    Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him,
    and have laid waste his habitation.

23 I know, Lord, that (A)a person’s way is not in himself,
(B)Nor is it in a person who walks to direct his steps.
24 (C)Correct me, Lord, but with justice;
Not with Your anger, or You will [a]bring me to nothing.
25 (D)Pour out Your wrath on the nations that (E)do not know You,
And on the families who (F)do not call upon Your name;
For they have devoured Jacob;
They have (G)devoured him and consumed him,
And have laid waste his [b]settlement.
