11 God is a righteous judge,(A)
    a God who displays his wrath(B) every day.
12 If he does not relent,(C)
    he[a] will sharpen his sword;(D)
    he will bend and string his bow.(E)
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
    he makes ready his flaming arrows.(F)

14 Whoever is pregnant with evil
    conceives trouble and gives birth(G) to disillusionment.
15 Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out
    falls into the pit(H) they have made.(I)
16 The trouble they cause recoils on them;
    their violence comes down on their own heads.

17 I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;(J)
    I will sing the praises(K) of the name of the Lord Most High.(L)
