The righteous is delivered out of trouble,And the wicked cometh in his stead.
The wicked is a ransom for the righteous;And the treacherous cometh in the stead of the upright.

But he put not their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.
The soul that sinneth, it shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them up unto the valley of Achor.
And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
They have prepared a net for my steps;My soul is bowed down:They have digged a pit before me;They are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. [Selah
He hath made a pit, and digged it,And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein;And he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him.
He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh through a wall, a serpent shall bite him.
For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart;I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
I will be glad and exult in thee;I will sing praise to thy name, O thou {Or, Most High; Because mine &c.}Most High.
When mine enemies turn back,They stumble and perish at thy presence.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
Thou hast rebuked the {Or, heathen}nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
{Or, O thou enemy, desolations are come to a perpetual end}The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; {Or, And their cities thou hast overthrown.}And the cities which thou hast {Hebrew: plucked up}overthrown,The very remembrance of them is perished.
But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever:He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
And he will judge the world in righteousness,He will minister judgment to the {Or, people}peoples in uprightness.
Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,A high tower in times of trouble;
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion:Declare among the {Or, peoples}people his doings.
For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them;He forgetteth not the cry of the {Or, meek}poor.
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah;Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me,Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
That I may show forth all thy praise.In the gates of the daughter of ZionI will rejoice in thy {Or, saving help}salvation.
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: {Or, He snareth the wicked}The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah.
The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol,Even all the nations that forget God.
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten,Nor the expectation of the {Or, meek}poor perish for ever.
Arise, O Jehovah; Let not man prevail:Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
Put them in fear, O Jehovah:Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah.
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: {Or, He snareth the wicked}The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah.
