Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
    and may you establish the righteous—
you who (A)test (B)the minds and hearts,[a]
    O righteous God!
10 My shield is (C)with God,
    who saves (D)the upright in heart.
11 God is (E)a righteous judge,
    and a God who feels (F)indignation every day.

12 If a man[b] does not repent, God[c] will (G)whet his sword;
    he has (H)bent and (I)readied his bow;
13 he has prepared for him his deadly weapons,
    making his (J)arrows (K)fiery shafts.
