Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:

He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:

They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.

My people are determined to turn from me. Though they call to the Most High, he certainly won’t exalt them.
