Away from me, all you who do evil,
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;
the Lord accepts my prayer.

Whoever is pregnant with evil
conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out
falls into the pit they have made.
The trouble they cause recoils on them;
their violence comes down on their own heads.

The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth:
the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,
who are caught in the schemes he devises.
He boasts about the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.

And the words of the Lord are flawless,
like silver purified in a crucible,
like gold[c] refined seven times.

my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing the Lord’s praise,
for he has been good to me.

Who despises a vile person
but honors those who fear the Lord;
Who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;

Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more.
I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods
or take up their names on my lips.

He who dwells in the shelter of the most high
Who abides in the shadow of the Almighty
Will say to the Lord, My God in whom I trust

I say, ‘You are gods;
you are all children of the Most High.
But you will die like mere mortals
and fall like every other ruler.’
