7. And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,
8. Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,
9. Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
10. My shield [is] on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!
11. God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.
12. If [one] turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden--He prepareth it,
13. Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.
14. Lo, he travaileth [with] iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.
15. A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.
16. Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.
