For the Lord loves what is fair and right. He does not leave the people alone who belong to Him. They are kept forever. But the children of the sinful will be cut off.

Then he passed away and was no more. I looked for him. But he could not be found.

But all the sinners will be destroyed. The family of the sinful will be cut off.

But the saving of those who are right with God is from the Lord. He is their strength in time of trouble.

I cannot stand straight but keep my head down. I have sorrow all day long

But like a deaf man, I do not hear. I am like one who cannot speak and does not open his mouth.

But those who fight against me are full of action and strength. There are many who hate me without reason.

But let all who look for You have joy and be glad in You. Let those who love Your saving power always say, "The Lord be honored!"

It was not by their sword that they took the land. Their own arm did not save them. But it was Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your face, for You favored them.

But You have saved us from those who fight against us. You have put to shame those who hate us.

But now You have turned from us and have put us to shame. You do not go out with our armies.

All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten You. We have not been false to Your agreement.

But You have crushed us in a place of wild dogs, and covered us with the shadow of death.

But we are killed all day long because of You. We are thought of as sheep that are ready to be killed.

But man with all his honor does not last. He is like the animals that die.

But God will free my soul from the power of the grave. For He will take me to Himself.

But to the sinful, God says: "What right do you have to tell of My Laws, and take My agreement in your mouth?

You have done these things, and I have kept quiet. You thought that I was just like you. But I will speak sharp words to you, and tell you who is guilty to your face.

But God will destroy you forever. He will pick you up and pull you away from your tent. He will pull up your roots from the land of the living.

"Look, the man who would not make God his safe place, but trusted in his many riches and was strong in his sinful desire."
