12 God is a righteous judge, and a God who searches severely all the day,

13 If anyone does not convert. He sharpens his sword, and bends his bow, and directs it;

14 He prepares for him vessels of death, He makes His arrows scorching.

15 Behold, the wicked man conceived unrighteousness, was pregnant with malice, and brought forth unto himself a lie;

16 He dug a pit, and dug it, and fell into the pit which he had prepared.

17 His wickedness shall be turned upon his head, and his wickedness shall fall upon his crown.

18 I praise the Lord according to his righteousness, and I sing the name of the Lord Most High.

Psalm 8

1 To the head of the choir. On the gun of Gath. Psalm of David.

2 O Lord our God! how great is Thy name in all the earth! Thy glory extends above the heavens!

3 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast ordained praise for the sake of Thy enemies, that Thou mayest silence the enemy and the avenger.

4 When I look upon thy heavens, it is the work of thy fingers, and of the moon, and of the stars which thou hast set up,

5 What is man, that thou rememberest him, and son of man, that thou visitest him?

6 Thou hast humbled him not much before the angels: Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor;

7 Thou hast made him ruler over the works of thy hands; He put everything under his feet.

8 and all the sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field;

9 The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that pass away by the paths of the sea.

10 O Lord our God! How majestic is Thy name throughout all the earth!

Psalm 9

1 To the head of the choir. After the death of Laben. Psalm of David.

2 I will praise [thee], O Lord, with all my heart, declaring all thy wonders.
