8. Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.
9. O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.
10. My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.
11. God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.
12. If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery shafts.
14. Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15. He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16. His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
17. I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
