23. I know, O Lord, that the way of a man is not his: neither is it in a man to walk, and to direct his steps.
24. Correct me, O Lord, but yet with judgement: and not in fury, lest thou bring me to nothing.
25. Pour out thy indignation upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the provinces that have not called upon thy name: because they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have destroyed his glory.
