let him who hates me come for me and catch me. Let him break me under his feet until I die, and lay my honor in the dust.

If a man is not sorry for his sins and will not turn from them, God will make His sword sharp. He will string His bow and make it ready.

He takes up His sword and the bow of death. And He makes arrows of fire.

The trouble he makes will return to him. When he hurts others it will come down on his own head.

You made him to rule over the works of Your hands. You put all things under his feet:

But the Lord lives forever. He has set up His throne to say who is guilty or not.

The Lord has made Himself known. He is fair in His Law. The sinful trap themselves by the work of their own hands.

The sinful man is proud of the desires of his heart. He praises those who want everything but he speaks against the Lord.

The sinful man in his pride does not look for God. All his thoughts are that there is no God.

His ways always go well for him. Your laws are too high for him to see. He laughs at those who hate him.

With his mouth he swears and lies. He makes it hard for other people. Trouble and sin are under his tongue.

He lies hidden in the towns, waiting to kill those who are not guilty. His eyes are always watching for the weak.

He lies in wait like a hidden lion. He lies in wait to catch the weak, and they become caught in his net.

The weak are hurt and they fall. They cannot stand under his strength.

He says to himself, "God has forgotten. He has hidden His face and will never see it."

Break the arm of the bad and sinful man. Find out all his sins until You find no more.

The Lord is in His holy house. The Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes see as He tests the sons of men.

The Lord tests and proves those who are right and good and those who are sinful. And His soul hates the one who loves to hurt others.

For the Lord is right and good. He loves what is right and good. And those who are right with Him will see His face.

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are sinful and their actions are sinful. There is no one who does good.
