9 Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. The One who examines the thoughts and emotions is a righteous God.
10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 God is a righteous judgeand a God who shows His wrath every day.
12 If anyone does not repent,God will sharpen His sword; He has strung His bow and made it ready.
13 He has prepared His deadly weapons;He tips His arrows with fire.
14 See, the wicked one is pregnant with evil,conceives trouble, and gives birth to deceit.
15 He dug a pit and hollowed it outbut fell into the hole he had made.
