“May my enemy be like the wicked,
    and may my opponent be like the unrighteous.
For what is the hope of the godless when God cuts them off,
    when God takes away their lives?(A)
Will God hear their cry
    when trouble comes upon them?(B)
10 Will they take delight in the Almighty?[a]
    Will they call upon God at all times?(C)
11 I will teach you concerning the hand of God;
    that which is with the Almighty[b] I will not conceal.
12 All of you have seen it yourselves;
    why then have you become altogether vain?
