10 Evil people will not learn ·to do good [righteousness; justice]
    even if you show them ·kindness [mercy; grace].
They will continue ·doing evil [acting unjustly], even if they live in a ·good world [land of uprightness];
    they never see the Lord’s ·greatness [majesty].
11 Lord, ·you are ready to punish those people [L your hand is lifted up; C ready to strike],
    but they do not see that.
·Show them your strong love for your people [L They will see your zeal for your people; or They will see your zealous judgment against mankind].
    ·Then those who are evil [L …and they] will be ashamed.
·Burn [Consume] them in the fire
    ·you have prepared for [L of] your ·enemies [adversaries].
12 Lord, all our ·success is [accomplishments/works are] because of what you have done,
    ·so give us peace [or and you give us peace/security].

10 But when grace is shown to the wicked,(A)

11 Lord, your hand is lifted high,(D)
    but they do not see(E) it.
Let them see your zeal(F) for your people and be put to shame;(G)
    let the fire(H) reserved for your enemies consume them.

12 Lord, you establish peace(I) for us;
    all that we have accomplished you have done(J) for us.
