Like a trampled spring and a polluted well
Is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

When the righteous triumph, there is great glory,
But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers

Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

My eyes shed streams of water,
Because they do not keep Your law.

The Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst.”

Why do You make me see iniquity,
And cause me to look on wickedness?

Strife exists and contention arises.
