and injustice shuts its mouth.

You will laugh at destruction and hunger

and not fear the land’s wild creatures.

Reconsider; my righteousness is still the issue.

You use lies like plaster;

you are all worthless healers.

God hands me over to the unjust;[fn]

he throws me to the wicked.

although my hands are free from violence

and my prayer is pure.

Indeed, such is the dwelling of the unjust man,

and this is the place of the one who does not know God.

Will you continue on the ancient path

that wicked men have walked?

If you return to the Almighty, you will be renewed.

If you banish injustice from your tent

The womb forgets them;

worms feed on them;

they are remembered no more.

So injustice is broken like a tree.

my lips will not speak unjustly,

and my tongue will not utter deceit.

I shattered the fangs of the unjust

and snatched the prey from his teeth.

He frees me from my enemies.

You exalt me above my adversaries;

you rescue me from violent men.

Consider my enemies; they are numerous,

for false witnesses rise up against me,

breathing violence.

Malicious witnesses come forward;

they question me about things I do not know.

[fn]Vindicate me, God, and champion my cause

against an unfaithful nation;

rescue me from the deceitful and unjust person.

But the king will rejoice in God;

all who swear by him will boast,

for the mouths of liars will be shut.

No one who acts deceitfully

will live in my palace;

the one who tells lies

will not be retained here to guide me.[fn]

You reject all who stray from your statutes,

for their deceit is a lie.

I carefully follow all your precepts

and hate every false way.

and a deceitful tongue.”

Rescue me, LORD, from evil men.

Keep me safe from violent men

Protect me, LORD,

from the power of the wicked.

Keep me safe from violent men

who plan to make me stumble.[fn]

arrogant eyes, a lying tongue,

hands that shed innocent blood,

a lying witness who gives false testimony,

but a perverse tongue will be cut out.

The wicked person earns an empty wage,

but the one who sows righteousness, a true reward.

Whoever speaks the truth declares what is right,

but a false witness speaks deceit.

Truthful lips endure forever,

but a lying tongue, only a moment.

No disaster overcomes the righteous,

but the wicked are full of misery.
