9 What my enemies say can never be trusted;they only want to destroy.Their words are flattering and smooth,but full of deadly deceit.
10 Condemn and punish them, O God;may their own plots cause their ruin.Drive them out of your presencebecause of their many sinsand their rebellion against you.
11 But all who find safety in you will rejoice;they can always sing for joy.Protect those who love you;because of you they are truly happy.
12 You bless those who obey you, Lord;your love protects them like a shield.
