Your eyes are too pure to approve evil,
And You can not look on wickedness with favor.
Why do You look with favor
On those who deal treacherously?
Why are You silent when the wicked swallow up
Those more righteous than they?

Will they therefore empty their net
And continually slay nations without sparing?

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

God comes from Teman,
And the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah.
His splendor covers the heavens,
And the earth is full of His praise.

Your bow was made bare,
The rods of chastisement were sworn. Selah.
You cleaved the earth with rivers.

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.
