But you remain; your years do not come to an end.

You prove to be loyal to one who is faithful; you prove to be trustworthy to one who is innocent.

How desolate they become in a mere moment! Terrifying judgments make their demise complete!

The enemy’s cities have been reduced to permanent ruins; you destroyed their cities; all memory of the enemies has perished.

They devise unjust schemes; they disguise a well-conceived plot. Man’s inner thoughts cannot be discovered.

Moreover, keep me from committing flagrant sins; do not allow such sins to control me. Then I will be blameless, and innocent of blatant rebellion.

May sinners disappear from the earth, and the wicked vanish! Praise the Lord, O my soul! Praise the Lord!
