19 If only you would put the sinners to death, O God; go far from me, you men of blood.
But he will do right in the cause of the poor, and give wise decisions for those in the land who are in need; and the rod of his mouth will come down on the cruel, and with the breath of his lips he will put an end to the evil-doer.
You will send destruction on those whose words are false; the cruel man and the man of deceit are hated by the Lord.
Go far from me, you evil-doers; so that I may keep the teachings of my God.
The sinners and all the nations who have no memory of God will be turned into the underworld.

And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.
