“I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted;

For I have obeyed the Lord’s commands; I have not rebelled against my God.

You widen my path; my feet do not slip.

I chase my enemies and catch them; I do not turn back until I wipe them out.

I beat them to death; they fall at my feet.

They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them.

Evil men borrow, but do not repay their debt, but the godly show compassion and are generous.
