10. An evil person will not learn to do goodeven if you show him kindness.He will continue doing evil, even if he lives in a good world.He never sees the Lord’s greatness.
11. Lord, you are ready to punish those people.But they do not see that.Lord, show them your strong love for your people.Then the evil people will be ashamed.Burn them in the fireyou have prepared for your enemies.
12. Lord, all our success is because of what you have done.So give us peace.
13. Lord, our God, other masters besides you have ruled us.But we honor only you.
14. Those masters are now dead.Their ghosts will not rise from death.You decided to destroy them.And you destroyed any memory of them.
15. Lord, you multiplied the number of your people.You multiplied them and brought honor to yourself.You made the borders of the land wide.
16. Lord, people remember you when they are in trouble.They say quiet prayers to you when you punish them.
