"May a slanderernot be establishedin the earth;May evilhuntthe violentmanspeedily."
Evilshall slaythe wicked,And those who hatethe righteouswill be condemned.
The LORDhas madeHimself known;He has executedjudgment.In the workof his own handsthe wickedis snared.HiggaionSelah.
An evilmanis ensnaredby the transgressionof his lips,But the righteouswill escapefrom trouble.
Adversitypursuessinners,But the righteouswill be rewardedwith prosperity.
He whohasa crookedmindfindsnogood,And he who is pervertedin his languagefallsinto evil.
Deathand lifeare in the powerof the tongue,And those who loveit will eatits fruit.
Haughtyeyes,a lyingtongue,And handsthat shedinnocentblood,
Woeto the wicked![It will go] badly[with him], For whathe deserveswill be doneto him.
