9 You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God, and to rescue the oppressed of the earth. Interlude
10 Human defiance only enhances your glory, for you use it as a weapon.
11 Make vows to the LORD your God, and keep them. Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.
12 For he breaks the pride of princes, and the kings of the earth fear him.

3 I think of God, and I moan, overwhelmed with longing for his help. Interlude

5 I think of the good old days, long since ended,
