Break the arm of the wicked and evil man! Hold him accountable for his wicked deeds, which he thought you would not discover.

Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people cannot dwell with you.

You love justice and hate evil. For this reason God, your God has anointed you with the oil of joy, elevating you above your companions.

Certainly spending just one day in your temple courts is better than spending a thousand elsewhere. I would rather stand at the entrance to the temple of my God than live in the tents of the wicked.

Indeed, the scepter of a wicked king will not settle upon the allotted land of the godly. Otherwise the godly might do what is wrong.

Do not let me have evil desires, or participate in sinful activities with men who behave wickedly. I will not eat their delicacies.
