4  For you are ^lnot a God who delights in wickedness;

evil may not dwell with you.

5  The boastful shall not stand before your eyes;

you hate all evildoers.

6  You destroy those who speak lies;

the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

9  For there is no truth in their mouth;

their inmost self is destruction;

^qtheir throat is an ^ropen grave;

they flatter with their tongue.

10  Make them bear their guilt, O God;

let them fall by their own counsels;

because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,

for they have rebelled against you.

15  Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer;

^gcall his wickedness to account till you find none.

3  ^vMy tears have been my food

day and night,

while they ^wsay to me all the day long,

^x“Where is your God?”

2  ^bRise up, O ^cjudge of the earth;

repay to the proud what they deserve!

3  O Lord, how long shall the wicked,

how long shall the wicked exult?

4  They pour out their arrogant words;

all the evildoers boast.

5  They crush your people, O Lord,

and afflict your heritage.

6  They kill the ^dwidow and the ^esojourner,

and murder the fatherless;

7  and they say, ^f“The Lord does not see;

the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
