    “God will never rescue him!” Interlude^[a]

¹¹ They say, “God has abandoned him.
    Let’s go and get him,
    for no one will help him now.”

³ Day and night I have only tears for food,
    while my enemies continually taunt me, saying,
    “Where is this God of yours?”

¹⁰ Their taunts break my bones.
    They scoff, “Where is this God of yours?”

⁷ Everyone who sees me mocks me.
    They sneer and shake their heads, saying,

⁴ Don’t sin by letting anger control you.

¹³ You went out to rescue your chosen people,
    to save your anointed ones.
You crushed the heads of the wicked
    and stripped their bones from head to toe.

⁹ You brandished your bow
    and your quiver of arrows.
    You split open the earth with flowing rivers.

³ I see God moving across the deserts from Edom,^[a]
    the Holy One coming from Mount Paran.^[b]
His brilliant splendor fills the heavens,
    and the earth is filled with his praise.
