7. Let the assembled peoples gather around you, while you sit enthroned over them on high.
8. Let the Lord judge the peoples. Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High.
9. Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure— you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts.
10. My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.
11. God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.
12. If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow.
13. He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes ready his flaming arrows.
14. Whoever is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
15. Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit they have made.
