5. Let the godly strike me!It will be a kindness!If they correct me, it is soothing medicine.Don’t let me refuse it.But I pray constantlyagainst the wicked and their deeds.
6. When their leaders are thrown down from a cliff,the wicked will listen to my words and find them true.
7. Like rocks brought up by a plow,the bones of the wicked will lie scattered without burial.
8. I look to you for help, O Sovereign lord.You are my refuge; don’t let them kill me.
9. Keep me from the traps they have set for me,from the snares of those who do wrong.
10. Let the wicked fall into their own nets,but let me escape.
