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.

what is man, that You think of him, the son of man that You care for him?

For You have stood by my right actions. You sit on Your throne, and are right in how You judge.

Those who know Your name will put their trust in You. For You, O Lord, have never left alone those who look for You.

For He Who punishes for the blood of another remembers them. He does not forget the cry of those who suffer.

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.

He says to himself, "I will not be moved. For all time, I will never have trouble."

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.

In this way, You will do the right thing for those without a father and those who suffer, so that man who is of the earth will no longer make them afraid.

For look, the sinful raise their bow. They make their arrow ready on the string to shoot in the dark against the pure in heart.

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.

Help, Lord! For God-like men are here no more. The faithful can no longer be seen among the sons of men.

The Lord has looked down from heaven on the sons of men, to see if there are any who understand and look for God.

There they are in much fear. For God is with the people of this day who do what is right and good.

He gives money to be used without being paid for its use. And he does not take money to hurt those who are not guilty. He who does these things will never be shaken.

Keep me, O God, for I am safe in You.

As for those in the land who belong to You, they are the great ones in whom is all my joy.

Those who have traded for another god bring many troubles on themselves. I will not take part in their altar gifts of blood. And I will not take their names upon my lips.
