10 The Exalted God is my shield,

the one who delivers the morally upright.

11 God is a just judge;

he is angry throughout the day.

12 If a person does not repent, God sharpens his sword

and prepares to shoot his bow.

13 He prepares to use deadly weapons against him;

he gets ready to shoot flaming arrows.

14 See the one who is pregnant with wickedness,

who conceives destructive plans,

and gives birth to harmful lies -

15 he digs a pit

and then falls into the hole he has made.

16 He becomes the victim of his own destructive plans

and the violence he intended for others falls on his own head.
