⁶ An evil man is ensnared in his transgression,
    but a righteous man sings and rejoices.
⁷ A righteous man knows the rights of the poor;
    a wicked man does not understand such knowledge.

¹⁰ Bloodthirsty men hate one who is blameless,
    and the wicked^[a] seek his life.

¹⁶ When the wicked are in authority, transgression increases;
    but the righteous will look upon their downfall.

²⁷ An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
    but he whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked.
