11. God is a righteous judgeand always condemns the wicked.
12. If they do not change their ways,God will sharpen his sword.He bends his bow and makes it ready;
13. he takes up his deadly weaponsand aims his burning arrows.
14. See how wicked people think up evil;they plan trouble and practise deception.
15. But in the traps they set for others,they themselves get caught.
16. So they are punished by their own eviland are hurt by their own violence.
17. I thank the Lord for his justice,I sing praises to the Lord, the Most High.
