With my lips I have declared All the judgments of Your mouth.

But to the wicked God says: "What [right] have you to declare My statutes, Or take My covenant in your mouth,

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, [And] my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
