6  ^wThe heavens declare his righteousness,

for ^xGod himself is judge! Selah

16  But to the wicked God says:

“What right have you to recite my statutes

or take my covenant on your lips?

21  These things you have done, and I ⁿhave been silent;

you thought that I¹ was one like yourself.

But now I ^orebuke you and ^play the charge before you.
