How happy is the one who does not

walk in the advice of the wicked

or stand in the pathway with sinners

or sit in the company of mockers!

Therefore the wicked will not stand up in the judgment,

nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Rise up, LORD!

Save me, my God!

You strike all my enemies on the cheek;

you break the teeth of the wicked.

Let the evil of the wicked come to an end,

but establish the righteous.

The one who examines the thoughts and emotions[fn]

is a righteous God.

The LORD has made himself known;

he has executed justice,

snaring the wicked

by the work of their hands.Higgaion. Selah

For the wicked one boasts about his own cravings;

the one who is greedy curses[fn] and despises the LORD.

Break the arm of the wicked, evil person,

until you look for his wickedness,

but it can’t be found.

“For look, the wicked string bows;

they put their arrows on bowstrings

to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

Let him rain burning coals[fn] and sulfur on the wicked;

let a scorching wind be the portion in their cup.

Do not drag me away with the wicked,

with the evildoers,

who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors

while malice is in their hearts.

Many pains come to the wicked,

but the one who trusts in the LORD

will have faithful love surrounding him.

Evil brings death to the wicked,

and those who hate the righteous will be punished.

Do not let the foot of the arrogant come near me

or the hand of the wicked drive me away.

A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;

though you look for him, he will not be there.

The wicked person schemes against the righteous

and gnashes his teeth at him.

The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the[fn] bow

to bring down the poor and needy

and to slaughter those whose way is upright.

The little that the righteous person has is better

than the abundance of many wicked people.

But the wicked will perish;

the LORD’s enemies, like the glory of the pastures,

will fade away —

they will fade away like smoke.

The wicked one lies in wait for the righteous

and intends to kill him;

Wait for the LORD and keep his way,

and he will exalt you to inherit the land.

You will watch when the wicked are destroyed.

The LORD helps and delivers them;

he will deliver them from the wicked and will save them

because they take refuge in him.

“What right do you have to recite my statutes

and to take my covenant on your lips?

because of the enemy’s words,[fn]

because of the pressure[fn] of the wicked.

For they bring down disaster on me

and harass me in anger.

The wicked go astray from the womb;

liars wander about from birth.

The righteous one will rejoice

when he sees the retribution;

he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

As smoke is blown away,

so you blow them away.

As wax melts before the fire,

so the wicked are destroyed before God.

Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked,

from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.

For I envied the arrogant;

I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Look at them ​— ​the wicked!

They are always at ease,

and they increase their wealth.

For there is a cup in the LORD’s hand,

full of wine blended with spices, and he pours from it.

All the wicked of the earth will drink,

draining it to the dregs.

“I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,

but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”

“How long will you judge unjustly

and show partiality to the wicked?Selah

“Rescue the poor and needy;

save them from the power of the wicked.”

Better a day in your courts

than a thousand anywhere else.

I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God

than live in the tents of wicked people.

You will only see it with your eyes

and witness the punishment of the wicked.

though the wicked sprout like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be eternally destroyed.

LORD, how long will the wicked —

how long will the wicked celebrate?

to give him relief from troubled times

until a pit is dug for the wicked.

You who love the LORD, hate evil!

He protects the lives of his faithful ones;

he rescues them from the power of the wicked.
