You will laugh at destruction and hunger

and not fear the land’s wild creatures.

Surely he knows which people are worthless.

If he sees iniquity, will he not take note of it?

if there is iniquity in your hand, remove it,

and don’t allow injustice to dwell in your tents —

The one who is at ease holds calamity in contempt

and thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.

then be afraid of the sword,

because wrath brings punishment by the sword,

so that you may know there is a judgment.

and walks with wicked men.

Could one who hates justice govern the world?

If you multiply your transgressions, what does it do to him?

how much less when[fn] you complain[fn]

that you do not see him,

that your case is before him

and you are waiting for him.

No one who waits for you

will be disgraced;

those who act treacherously without cause

will be disgraced.

For the LORD loves justice

and will not abandon his faithful ones.

They are kept safe forever,

but the children of the wicked will be destroyed.

Then I will teach the rebellious your ways,

and sinners will return to you.

For I envied the arrogant;

I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

May sinners vanish from the earth

and wicked people be no more.

My soul, bless the LORD!

Hallelujah!

Both we and our ancestors have sinned;

we have done wrong and have acted wickedly.

Let the arrogant be put to shame

for slandering me with lies;

I will meditate on your precepts.

Such are the paths of all who make profit dishonestly;

it takes the lives of those who receive it.[fn]

Ill-gotten gains do not profit anyone,

but righteousness rescues from death.

No one can be made secure by wickedness,

but the root of the righteous is immovable.

A wise person is cautious and turns from evil,

but a fool is easily angered and is careless.[fn]

The wicked are a ransom for the righteous,

and the treacherous, for[fn] the upright.

As a crucible refines silver,

and a smelter refines gold,

so a person should refine his praise.

The one who leads the upright into an evil way

will fall into his own pit,

but the blameless will inherit what is good.

An unjust person is detestable to the righteous,

and one whose way is upright

is detestable to the wicked.

Oh sinful nation,

people weighed down with iniquity,

brood of evildoers,

depraved children!

they have turned their backs on him.

“I will turn my hand against you

and will burn away your dross completely;[fn]

I will remove all your impurities.

At the same time both rebels and sinners will be broken,

and those who abandon the LORD will perish.

The strong one will become tinder,

and his work a spark;

both will burn together,

with no one to extinguish the flames.

Woe to the wicked ​— ​it will go badly for them,

for what they have done will be done to them.

The head is the elder, the honored one;

the tail is the prophet, the one teaching lies.

Therefore the Lord does not rejoice

over[fn] Israel’s young men

and has no compassion

on its fatherless and widows,

for everyone is a godless evildoer,

and every mouth speaks folly.

In all this, his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is still raised to strike.

I will send him against a godless nation;

I will command him to go

against a people destined for my rage,

to take spoils, to plunder,

and to trample them down like clay in the streets.

I will punish the world for its evil,

and wicked people for their iniquities.

I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant

and humiliate the insolence of tyrants.
