For I would have committed ¹  a shameful act, ²  an iniquity to be judged. ³ 

And further, ¹  when you say that his anger does not punish, ²  and that he does not know transgression! ³ 

His mouth is full of curses and deceptive, harmful words; ¹  his tongue injures and destroys. ² 

You do damage with words, ¹  and use your tongue to deceive. ² 

Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; ¹  it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver. ² 

So they proclaim that the Lord, my protector, is just and never unfair. ¹ 

They spew out threats ¹  and speak defiantly; all the evildoers boast. ² 

Who will rise up to defend me ¹  against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers? ² 

We have sinned like ¹  our ancestors; ²  we have done wrong, we have done evil.

If only ¹  you would kill the wicked, O God! Get away from me, you violent men! ² 

The Lord satisfies ¹  the appetite ²  of the righteous, but he thwarts ³  the craving ⁴  of the wicked.

A good person obtains favor from the Lord, but the Lord ¹  condemns a person with wicked schemes. ² 

The wicked person desires a stronghold, ¹  but the righteous root ²  endures. ³ 

The wicked person’s sacrifice ¹  is an abomination; how much more ²  when he brings it with evil intent! ³ 

The one who sows ¹  iniquity will reap trouble, and the rod of his fury ²  will end.

For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, for the oppression ¹  of the king ²  is severe upon his victim. ³ 

Your misdeeds have stopped these things from coming. ¹  Your sins have deprived you of my bounty.’ ² 

He said to me, “Go in and see the evil abominations they are practicing here.”

I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you among various countries; I will remove your impurity from you. ¹ 

You were blameless in your behavior ¹  from the day you were created, until sin was discovered in you.
