- 3
- He boasts of the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
- 4
- In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
- 5
- His ways are always prosperous; he is haughty and your laws are far from him; he sneers at all his enemies.
- 6

- 13
- Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, "He won't call me to account"?

- 16
- The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.
- 17

- 18
- defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.
