10. I, the Lord, explore the mindand test the heart,Giving to all according to their ways,according to the fruit of their deeds.
11. A partridge that broods but does not hatchare those who acquire wealth unjustly:In midlife it will desert them;in the end they are only fools.
12. A throne of glory, exalted from the beginning,such is our holy place.
13. O Hope of Israel, Lord!all who forsake you shall be put to shame;The rebels shall be enrolled in the netherworld;they have forsaken the Lord, source of living waters.
14. Heal me, Lord, that I may be healed;save me, that I may be saved,for you are my praise.
15. See how they say to me,“Where is the word of the Lord?Let it come to pass!”
16. Yet I did not press you to send disaster;the day without remedy I have not desired.You know what passed my lips;it is present before you.
17. Do not become a terror to me,you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
