7:10 The Exalted God is my shield, 1
the one who delivers the morally upright. 2
7:11 God is a just judge;
he is angry throughout the day. 3
7:12 If a person 4 does not repent, God sharpens his sword 5
and prepares to shoot his bow. 6
7:13 He prepares to use deadly weapons against him; 7
he gets ready to shoot flaming arrows. 8
7:14 See the one who is pregnant with wickedness,
who conceives destructive plans,
and gives birth to harmful lies – 9
7:15 he digs a pit 10
and then falls into the hole he has made. 11
7:16 He becomes the victim of his own destructive plans 12
and the violence he intended for others falls on his own head. 13
7:17 I will thank the Lord for 14 his justice;
I will sing praises to the sovereign Lord! 15
