10 My shield is with God,(A)
who saves the upright in heart.(B)
11 God is a righteous judge
and a God who shows his wrath every day.(C)

12 If anyone does not repent,
he will sharpen his sword;(D)
he has strung his bow and made it ready.(E)
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
he tips his arrows with fire.(F)

14 See, the wicked one is pregnant with evil,
conceives trouble, and gives birth to deceit.(G)
15 He dug a pit and hollowed it out
but fell into the hole he had made.(H)
16 His trouble comes back on his own head;
his own violence comes down on top of his head.(I)

17 I will thank the Lord for his righteousness;
I will sing about the name of the Lord Most High.(J)
