Psalm 7:10-16

Common English Bible

¹⁰ God is my shield;
    he saves those whose heart is right.
¹¹ God is a righteous judge,
    a God who is angry at evil^[a] every single day.
¹² If someone doesn’t change their ways,
    God will sharpen his sword,
    will bend his bow,
    will string an arrow.
¹³ God has deadly weapons in store
    for those who won’t change;
    he gets his flaming arrows ready!

¹⁴ But look how the wicked hatch evil,
    conceive trouble, give birth to lies!
¹⁵ They make a pit, dig it all out,
    and then fall right into the hole that they’ve made!
¹⁶ The trouble they cause
        will come back on their own heads;
    the violence they commit
        will come down on their own skulls.
