13 ^aO my God, make them like the whirling dust,
^bLike the chaff before the wind! ‡

14 As the fire burns the woods,
And as the flame ^asets the mountains on fire, ‡

16 Fill their faces with shame,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.

17 Let them be¹ confounded and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be put to shame and perish, ‡
