10 God, declare them guilty! Let them fall through their own intrigues, For their many crimes, throw them down; since they have rebelled against you.

11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice, let them forever shout for joy! Shelter them; and they will be glad, those who love your name.
11
But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.
12 For you, ADONAI, bless the righteous; you surround them with favor like a shield.
12
For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
