6 GHIMEL. Increpasti gentes, perdidisti impium; nomen eorum delesti in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi.	6 You have rebuked the Gentiles, and the impious one has perished. You have deleted their name in eternity and for all generations.

11 Et sperent in te, qui noverunt nomen tuum, quoniam non dereliquisti quaerentes te, Domine.	11 And may they hope in you, who know your name. For you have not abandoned those seeking you, Lord.
12 ZAIN. Psallite Domino, qui habitat in Sion; annuntiate inter gentes studia eius.	12 Sing a psalm to the Lord, who dwells in Zion. Announce his study among the Gentiles.

16 TETH. Infixae sunt gentes in fovea, quam fecerunt; in laqueo isto, quem absconderunt, comprehensus est pes eorum.	16 I will exult in your salvation. The Gentiles have become trapped in the ruin that they made. Their foot has been caught in the same snare that they themselves had hidden.
17 Manifestavit se Dominus iudicium faciens; in operibus manuum suarum comprehensus est peccator.	17 The Lord will be recognized when making judgments. The sinner has been caught in the works of his own hands.

20 Exsurge, Domine, non confortetur homo; iudicentur gentes in conspectu tuo.	20 Rise up, Lord: do not let man be strengthened. Let the Gentiles be judged in your sight.
21 Constitue, Domine, terrorem super eos; sciant gentes quoniam homines sunt.	21 O Lord, establish a lawgiver over them, so that the Gentiles may know that they are only men.
	22 So then, why, O Lord, have you withdrawn far away? Why have you overlooked us in opportunity, in tribulation?
	23 While the impious is arrogant, the poor is enflamed. They are held by the counsels that they devise.
	24 For the sinner is praised by the desires of his soul, and the iniquitous is blessed.
	25 The sinner has provoked the Lord; according to the multitude of his wrath, he will not seek him.
	26 God is not before his sight. His ways are stained at all times. Your judgments are removed from his face. He will be master of all his enemies.
	27 For he has said in his heart, “I will not be disturbed: from generation to generation without evil.”
	28 His mouth is full of curses, and bitterness, and deceit. Under his tongue are hardship and sorrow.
	29 He sits in ambush, with resources in hidden places, so that he may execute the innocent.
	30 His eyes catch sight of the poor. He lies in ambush, in hiding like a lion in his den. He lies in ambush, so that he may seize the poor, to seize the poor as he draws him in.
	31 With his snare, he will bring him down. He will crouch down and pounce, when he has power over the poor.
	32 For he has said in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has turned away his face, lest he see to the end.”
	33 O Lord God, rise up. Let your hand be exalted. Do not forget the poor.
	34 How has the impious one provoked God? For he has said in his heart, “He will not inquire.”
	35 You do see, for you examine hardship and sorrow, so that you may deliver them into your hands. The poor one has been abandoned to you. You will be a helper to the orphan.
	36 Break the arm of the sinner and the malicious. His sin will be sought, and it will not be found.
	37 The Lord shall reign in eternity, even forever and ever. You will perish the Gentiles from his land.
	38 The Lord has heeded the desire of the poor. Your ear has listened to the preparation of their heart,
	39 so as to judge for the orphan and the humble, so that man may no longer presume to magnify himself upon the earth.
