Like a rock that one breaks apart and shatters on the land,
    so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.[a]

But my eyes are turned towards you, O God, my Lord;
    in you I seek refuge; do not leave me defenceless.
Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me,
    and from the snares of evildoers.

Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave,
As when one plows and breaks up the earth.

But (A)my eyes are upon You, O God the Lord;
In You I take refuge;
[a]Do not leave my soul destitute.
Keep me from (B)the snares they have laid for me,
And from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
