The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah

The wicked will return to Sheol—all the nations who forget God.

In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.

For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.

In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.

Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”

Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.

For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.

On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.

The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men.

…from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.

Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,

I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.

Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol.

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.

Evil will slay the wicked, and the haters of the righteous will be condemned.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.

The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,

The wicked have drawn the sword and bent the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.

Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many who are wicked.

For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.

But the wicked and enemies of the LORD will perish like the glory of the fields. They will vanish; like smoke they will fade away.

The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and giving.

For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.

Though the wicked lie in wait for the righteous, and seek to slay them,

Wait for the LORD and keep His way, and He will raise you up to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

I have seen a wicked, ruthless man flourishing like a well-rooted native tree,

But the transgressors will all be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.

The LORD helps and delivers them; He rescues and saves them from the wicked, because they take refuge in Him.

For the choirmaster. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”

To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?

…at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they bring down disaster upon me and resent me in their anger.

The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.

The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.

As smoke is blown away, You will drive them out; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked will perish in the presence of God.

Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.

For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Behold, these are the wicked—always carefree as they increase their wealth.

I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours from His cup, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to the dregs.

“All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”

“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah

Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.

…that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.

How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?
