When their judges are thrown off a cliff,
    they will listen to what I have to say.
        It will sound pleasant to them.
As someone plows and breaks up the ground,
    so our bones will be planted at the mouth of the grave.[a]

My eyes look to you, Yahweh Adonay.
    I have taken refuge in you.
    Do not leave me defenseless.

Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs,(A)

They will say, “As one plows(B) and breaks up the earth,(C)
    so our bones have been scattered at the mouth(D) of the grave.”

But my eyes are fixed(E) on you, Sovereign Lord;
    in you I take refuge(F)—do not give me over to death.
