Yet you, Lord, you know me.
    You see me.
You can tell that I love you.[a]
    So drag them away
    and butcher them like sheep.
    Prepare them for the slaughterhouse.
How long will the land mourn
    and the grass in the fields dry up?
The animals and birds are swept away
    due to the evil of those in the land.
The people say,
    “God doesn’t see what we’re up to!”

If you have raced with people and are worn out,
    how will you compete with horses?
If you fall down in an open field,[b]
    how will you survive in the forest along the Jordan?
