¹¹ His fury burns against me;
    he counts me as an enemy.

¹⁰ God is picking a quarrel with me,
    and he considers me his enemy.

⁹ God hates me and angrily tears me apart.
    He snaps his teeth at me
    and pierces me with his eyes.

⁵ Yes, the Lord has vanquished Israel
    like an enemy.
He has destroyed her palaces
    and demolished her fortresses.
He has brought unending sorrow and tears
    upon beautiful Jerusalem.

⁷ We wither beneath your anger;
    we are overwhelmed by your fury.

⁴⁶ O Lord, how long will this go on?
    Will you hide yourself forever?
    How long will your anger burn like fire?

²² For my anger blazes forth like fire
    and burns to the depths of the grave.^[a]
It devours the earth and all its crops
    and ignites the foundations of the mountains.
