For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.

The enemy has come to eternal ruin;
You have uprooted the cities,
and the very memory of them has perished.

He will rain burning coals and sulfur on the wicked;
a scorching wind will be their portion.

I am ridiculed by all my adversaries
and even by my neighbors.
I am dreaded by my acquaintances;
those who see me in the street run from me.

Let ruin come on him unexpectedly,
and let the net that he hid ensnare him;
let him fall into it—to his ruin.

How happy is the man
who has put his trust in the Lord
and has not turned to the proud
or to those who run after lies!

God, create a clean heart for me
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

before God, the God of Sinai,
before God, the God of Israel.

like spring showers that water the earth.

Their eyes bulge out from fatness;
the imaginations of their hearts run wild.

Indeed, You put them in slippery places;
You make them fall into ruin.

As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
they make it a source of springwater;
even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings.

When You send Your breath,
they are created,
and You renew the face of the earth.

He gave them hail for rain,
and lightning throughout their land.

He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain
and brings the wind from His storehouses.

who covers the sky with clouds,
prepares rain for the earth,
and causes grass to grow on the hills.
