“Behold, as for the proud one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the righteous will live by his faith.

“Will not all of these take up a taunt-song against him,
Even mockery and insinuations against him
And say, ‘Woe to him who increases what is not his—
For how long—
And makes himself rich with loans?’

“Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house
To put his nest on high,
To be delivered from the hand of calamity!

“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed
And founds a town with violence!

“Woe to him who says to a piece of wood, ‘Awake!’
To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’
And that is your teacher?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
And there is no breath at all inside it.

“But the Lord is in His holy temple.
Let all the earth be silent before Him.”

Before Him goes pestilence,
And plague comes after Him.

You went forth for the salvation of Your people,
For the salvation of Your anointed.
You struck the head of the house of the evil
To lay him open from thigh to neck. Selah.
