8. The Lord ministereth judgment to the peoples: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.
9. Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10. My shield is with God, which 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.
