³ Look on me^(F) and answer,^(G) Lord my God.
    Give light to my eyes,^(H) or I will sleep in death,^(I)
4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,^(J)”
    and my foes will rejoice when I fall.^(K)

⁵ But I trust in your unfailing love;^(L)
    my heart rejoices in your salvation.^(M)
6 I will sing^(N) the Lord’s praise,
    for he has been good to me.

² The Lord looks down from heaven^(Q)
    on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,^(R)
    any who seek God.^(S)
3 All have turned away,^(T) all have become corrupt;^(U)
    there is no one who does good,^(V)
    not even one.^(W)

⁴ Do all these evildoers know nothing?^(X)

They devour my people^(Y) as though eating bread;
    they never call on the Lord.^(Z)
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
    for God is present in the company of the righteous.
⁶ You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
    but the Lord is their refuge.^(AA)

⁷ Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!^(AB)
    When the Lord restores^(AC) his people,
    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

² The one whose walk is blameless,^(AG)
    who does what is righteous,
    who speaks the truth^(AH) from their heart;
³ whose tongue utters no slander,^(AI)
    who does no wrong to a neighbor,
    and casts no slur on others;
⁴ who despises a vile person
    but honors^(AJ) those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath^(AK) even when it hurts,
    and does not change their mind;
⁵ who lends money to the poor without interest;^(AL)
    who does not accept a bribe^(AM) against the innocent.

Whoever does these things
    will never be shaken.^(AN)
