Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the Lord knows and fully approves the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked shall perish.

if I have rewarded those who did me good with evil, if I have plundered my enemy without justification,

Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous [those in right standing with You];
For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.

And he prepared to himself the instruments of death; he will work his arrows for those inflaming.

But they devise deceitful words [half-truths and lies] against those who are quiet in the land.

Let those who rejoice at my misfortune
be disgraced and humiliated;
let those who exalt themselves over me
be clothed with shame and reproach.

Let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified, who delights and takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
