"Farbe it from You to dosucha thing,to slaythe righteouswith the wicked,so that the righteousand the wickedare [treated] alike. Farbe it from You! Shall not the Judgeof allthe earthdealjustly?"
"O our God,will You not judgethem? For we are powerlessbeforethisgreatmultitudewho are comingagainstus; nordo we knowwhatto do,but our eyesare on You."
O lovethe LORD,allyou His godlyones!The LORDpreservesthe faithfulAnd fullyrecompensesthe prouddoer.

Let Godarise,let His enemiesbe scattered,And let those who hateHim fleebeforeHim.
Arise,O LORD,in Your anger;Liftup Yourself against the rageof my adversaries,And arouseYourself for me; You have appointedjudgment.
Arise,O God,[and] pleadYour own cause;Rememberhow the foolishmanreproachesYou alldaylong.

So it will be that whenthe Lordhas completedallHis workon MountZionand on Jerusalem,[He will say], "I will punishthe fruitof the arrogantheartof the kingof Assyriaand the pompof his haughtiness."
The prideof manwill be humbledAnd the loftinessof menwill be abased;And the LORDalonewill be exaltedin that day,
"Whomhave you reproachedand blasphemed?And againstwhomhave you raised[your] voiceAnd haughtilyliftedup your eyes?Againstthe HolyOneof Israel!
"Becauseof your ragingagainstMe And because your arrogancehas comeup to My ears,Therefore I will putMy hookin your noseAnd My bridlein your lips,And I will turnyou backby the waywhichyou came.
"NowI, Nebuchadnezzar,praise,exaltand honorthe Kingof heaven,for allHis worksare true and His waysjust,and He is ableto humblethose whowalkin pride."
Your handwill be liftedup againstyour adversaries,And allyour enemieswill be cutoff.

You younger men,likewise,be subjectto [your] elders;and allof you, clotheyourselves with humilitytoward one another,for GODIS OPPOSEDTO THE PROUD,BUT GIVESGRACETO THE HUMBLE.
