Put your hope in the LORD and obey his commands; he will honor you by giving you the land, and you will see the wicked driven out.

The righteous will be glad when they see sinners punished; they will wade through the blood of the wicked.

People will say, "The righteous are indeed rewarded; there is indeed a God who judges the world."

I have seen the defeat of my enemies and heard the cries of the wicked.

You will not have to worry about sudden disasters, such as come on the wicked like a storm.

The LORD will keep you safe. He will not let you fall into a trap.

The people of Israel are going to see this with their own eyes, and they will say, "The LORD is mighty even outside the land of Israel!"

But evil people are doomed; what they have done to others will now be done to them.

The message given to our ancestors by the angels was shown to be true, and those who did not follow it or obey it received the punishment they deserved.
