23. Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own;it is not for them to direct their steps.
24. Discipline me, Lord, but only in due measure –not in your anger,or you will reduce me to nothing.
25. Pour out your wrath on the nationsthat do not acknowledge you,on the peoples who do not call on your name.For they have devoured Jacob;they have devoured him completelyand destroyed his homeland.
