8 The Lord judges the people of the world.Judge me, O Lord,according to my righteousness,according to my integrity.
9 Let the evil within wicked people come to an end,but make the righteous person secure,O righteous God who examines thoughts and emotions.
10 My shield is God above,who saves those whose motives are decent.
11 God is a fair judge,a God who is angered by injustice every day.
12 If a person does not change, God sharpens his sword.By bending his bow, he makes it ready ⌊to shoot⌋.
13 He prepares his deadly weaponsand turns them into flaming arrows.
14 See how that person conceives evil,is pregnant with harm,and gives birth to lies.
