May your loyal followers turn to me, those who know your rules.

The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,

Then I will teach rebels your merciful ways, and sinners will turn to you.

They return in the evening; they growl like a dog and prowl around outside the city.

May those who say, “Aha! Aha!” be driven back and disgraced!

My enemies will turn back when I cry out to you for help; I know that God is on my side.

I will listen to what God the Lord says. For he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers. Yet they must not return to their foolish ways.
