⁴ The One enthroned^(F) in heaven laughs;^(G)
    the Lord scoffs at them.
⁵ He rebukes them in his anger^(H)
    and terrifies them in his wrath,^(I) saying,
⁶ “I have installed my king^(J)
    on Zion,^(K) my holy mountain.^(L)”

⁸ Refrain from anger^(A) and turn from wrath;
    do not fret^(B)—it leads only to evil.
⁹ For those who are evil will be destroyed,^(C)
    but those who hope^(D) in the Lord will inherit the land.^(E)

¹⁰ A little while, and the wicked will be no more;^(F)
    though you look for them, they will not be found.
¹¹ But the meek will inherit the land^(G)
    and enjoy peace and prosperity.^(H)

¹² The wicked plot^(I) against the righteous
    and gnash their teeth^(J) at them;
¹³ but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
    for he knows their day is coming.^(K)

²³ Repent at my rebuke!
    Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
    I will make known to you my teachings.
²⁴ But since you refuse^(A) to listen when I call^(B)
    and no one pays attention^(C) when I stretch out my hand,
²⁵ since you disregard all my advice
    and do not accept my rebuke,
²⁶ I in turn will laugh^(D) when disaster^(E) strikes you;
    I will mock^(F) when calamity overtakes you^(G)—
²⁷ when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
    when disaster^(H) sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
    when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

²⁸ “Then they will call to me but I will not answer;^(I)
    they will look for me but will not find me,^(J)
29 since they hated knowledge
    and did not choose to fear the Lord.^(K)
