4Give them what they deserve for their evil actions. Pay them back for what they've done. Give them the reward they've earned!
5For they don't pay any attention to what the Lord does, or to what he created. So he will destroy them—they will never be restored.
6Praise the Lord! For he has heard my appeal for mercy!
7The Lord is my strength and my shield. I trust in him and he helps me. I'm so happy, and I sing my thanks to him.
