8 The Lord shall all the people judge, Do thou, O [Righteous] Lord, judge me; According to my righteousness, And [after] mine integrity.
9 O let the heinous wickedness Of wicked [men] come to [an] end; Thou, Lord, who try'st the hearts and reins, The just do thou [stay and] defend.
10 Of God is my defence, who saves Men upright in their [heart and] way;
11 As God doth judge the just, so he [With sin] is angry every day.
12 If men turn not, he'll whet his sword; The bow is [vent and] ready made, The executing instruments Of death he [also] hath prepared.
