Forasmuch as He trusts not His saints, and the heaven is not pure before Him.

For You are not a God that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with You.

Neither shall the transgressors continue in Your sight. You hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.

The Lord is in His holy temple; as for the Lord, His throne is in heaven: His eyes look upon the poor, His eyelids test the sons of men.

He shall rain upon sinners snares, fire, and brimstone, and a stormy blast [shall be] the portion of their cup.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears [are open] to their prayer;

but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord hearkened to them,

but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all manner of life,

because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."

Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? [Why] do You overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?

While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued; [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.

Break the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.

For I was jealous of the transgressors, beholding the tranquility of sinners.

Righteous are You, O Lord, that I may make my defense to You: yet I will speak to You [of] judgments. Why [is it] that the way of the ungodly prospers? [And] all that deal very treacherously are flourishing?

You have planted them, and they have taken root; they have begotten children, and become fruitful; You are near to their mouth, but far from their mind.

[so] a fearful and a grievous vision was declared to me; he that is treacherous deals treacherously, the transgressor transgresses. The Elamites are upon me, and the ambassadors of the Persians come against me; now will I groan and comfort myself.

Woe to those that afflict you; but no one makes you miserable; and he that deals treacherously with you does not deal treacherously; those that deal treacherously shall be taken and given up, and like a moth on a garment, so shall they be spoiled.

For if you shall refuse to heed on this occasion, help and protection will be to the Jews from another quarter; but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows if you have been made queen for this [very] occasion.

You have seen [it], O Lord; keep not silence; O Lord, withdraw not [Yourself] from me.

God, our God, shall come manifestly, and shall not keep silent; a fire shall be kindled before Him, and round about Him there shall be a very great tempest.

These things you did, and I kept silent; you thought wickedly that I should be like you, [but] I will reprove you, and set [your offenses] before you.

A Song of a Psalm of Asaph. O God, who shall be compared to You? Be not silent, neither be still, O God.

Open your mouth with the word of God, and judge all fairly.

Open your mouth and judge justly, and plead the cause of the poor and weak.

And for all these things You, O Lord, have withheld Yourself, and have been silent, and have brought us very low.

Why have You shown me troubles and grievances to look upon, misery and ungodliness? Judgment is before me, and the judge receives a reward.

Therefore the law is frustrated, and judgment never goes forth, for the ungodly man prevails over the just; therefore perverse judgment will proceed.

And now evil men have slain a righteous men in his house, [and] on his bed. Now then, I will require his blood from your hand, and I will destroy you from off the earth.

And the Lord has returned upon his own head the blood of his unrighteousness, inasmuch as he attacked two men more righteous and better than himself, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew not of their blood, [even] Abner the son of Ner the commander-in-chief of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether the commander-in-chief of Judah.

The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him.

Sinners have drawn their swords; they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay the upright in heart.

For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Gath. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long his warring has afflicted me.

My enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you took, and by lawless hands, nailing [Him] to a cross, you killed [Him];

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him.

and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.
