Psalm 7:11-16

11 God is a judge who is fair.

Every day he is angry with wicked people.

12 If they do not change the way that they live,

God will prepare to punish them.

He will make his sword sharp,

and he will put an arrow in his bow.

13 He will prepare his dangerous weapons.

He is ready to shoot his arrows that burn with fire.

14 Look! Wicked people prepare to do evil things!

They want to cause trouble.

Like a pregnant woman,

what starts inside them comes out for everyone to see!

They give birth to lies that deceive people.

15 Wicked people want to hurt people.

They are digging a deep hole for people to fall into.

But they fall into the hole themselves!

16 The ideas that they have to hurt other people

bring trouble on themselves!

They want to be cruel to other people,

but they themselves receive the pain!
