10 The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, And shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!
The righteous see it, and are glad; The innocent ridicule them,
> In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain!"
He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;
Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.
His seed will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
