Verse 31 is found in chapter 78 of Psalms. Psalm 78 is an extensive historical and wisdom poem recounting Israel’s unfaithfulness and God’s patience. Its explicit purpose is to transmit divine works to future generations so they will not forget his commandments. The psalm recalls rebellion in the wilderness, unbelief, idolatry, and failure, but also divine compassion. The choice of David as shepherd at the end connects the history of the people with the responsibility of faithful leadership.

da kam der Zorn Gottes über sie und erwürgte die Vornehmsten unter ihnen und schlug darnieder die Besten in Israel.
Cuando vino sobre ellos el furor de Dios, Y mató los más robustos de ellos, Y derribo los escogidos de Israel.
cuando la ira de Dios se levantó contra ellos. Mató a los más robustos y derribó a los jóvenes de Israel.
Lorsque la colère de Dieu s'éleva contre eux; Il frappa de mort les plus vigoureux, Il abattit les jeunes hommes d'Israël.
Quando l’ira montò a Dio contro a loro, Ed uccise i più grassi di loro, Ed abbattè la scelta d’Israele.
Quando a ira de Deus desceu sobre eles, e matou os mais robustos deles, e feriu os escolhidos de Israel.
上帝的怒氣就向他們上騰, 殺了他們當中肥壯的人, 打倒 以色列 的青年。
