²³ God will turn the sins of evil people back on them.
    He will destroy them for their sins.
    The Lord our God will destroy them.

¹⁶ The trouble they make for others backfires on them.
    The violence they plan falls on their own heads.

³² The wicked are crushed by disaster,
    but the godly have a refuge when they die.

²² But the wicked will be removed from the land,
    and the treacherous will be uprooted.

⁸ Their own tongues will ruin them,
    and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.

²³ But you, O God, will send the wicked
    down to the pit of destruction.
Murderers and liars will die young,
    but I am trusting you to save me.

²² An evil man is held captive by his own sins;
    they are ropes that catch and hold him.
