The Lord shall judge the peoples;
(A)Judge me, O Lord, (B)according to my righteousness,
And according to my integrity within me.

Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
But establish the just;
(C)For the righteous God tests the hearts and [a]minds.
10 [b]My defense is of God,
Who saves the (D)upright in heart.

11 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.
