20 ^aMy tent is plundered,
And all my cords are broken;
My children have gone from me,
And they are ^bno more.
There is no one to pitch my tent anymore,
Or set up my curtains. ‡

21 For the shepherds have become dull-hearted,
And have not sought the Lord;
Therefore they shall not prosper,
And all their flocks shall be ^ascattered. ‡

23 O Lord, I know the ^away of man is not in himself;
It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. ‡

24 O Lord, ^acorrect me, but with justice;
Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing. ‡
