2For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.

3The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.

8They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall cause them to drink of the full stream of your delights.
8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
9For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we shall see light.

10Extend your mercy to them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.

12There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
12There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
