‘Surely such is the residence ¹  of an evil man; and this is the place of one who has not known God.’” ² 

he will deliver even someone who is not innocent, ¹  who will escape ²  through the cleanness of your hands.”

“May my enemy be like the wicked, ¹  my adversary ²  like the unrighteous. ³ 

For what hope does the godless have when he is cut off, ¹  when God takes away his life? ² 

who says to a king, ¹  ‘Worthless man’ ²  and to nobles, ‘Wicked men,’

Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people, ¹  he ²  is mighty, and firm ³  in his intent. ⁴ 

Would you indeed annul ¹  my justice? Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right?

Look at every proud man and abase him; crush the wicked on the spot! ¹ 

The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; ¹  this is the destiny of ²  all the nations that ignore ³  God,

The Lord approves of ¹  the godly, ²  but he ³  hates ⁴  the wicked and those who love to do violence. ⁵ 

An evil person suffers much pain, ¹  but the Lord’s faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him. ² 

The wicked turn aside from birth; ¹  liars go astray as soon as they are born. ² 

My God, rescue me from the power ¹  of the wicked, from the hand of the cruel oppressor!

¹ I say to the proud, “Do not be proud,” and to the wicked, “Do not be so confident of victory! ² 

God says, ¹  “I will bring down all the power of the wicked; the godly will be victorious.” ² 

in order to protect him from times of trouble, ¹  until the wicked are destroyed. ² 

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

Each morning I will destroy all the wicked people in the land, and remove all evildoers from the city of the Lord.

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

For they say cruel and deceptive things to me; they lie to me. ¹
