Punish the Wicked

Give to them what they have done to others.
According to their evil actions,
according to the deeds of their hands,
punish them.
Repay to them what they deserve.

or the deeds of his hands,
he will tear them down and not build them up.

Then I Will Praise You

Blessed be the Lord,
because he has heard the sound of my plea for mercy.
