11. the LORD, knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.
12. Beatus homo, quem tu erudieris, Domine, et de lege tua docueris eum,
12. Blessed is the man whom thou dost chasten, O LORD, and whom thou dost teach out of thy law
13. ut mitiges ei a diebus malis, donec fodiatur peccatori fovea.
13. to give him respite from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14. Quia non repellet Dominus plebem suam et hereditatem suam non derelinquet.
14. For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;
15. Quia ad iustitiam revertetur iudicium, et sequentur illam omnes, qui recto sunt corde.

23. et reddet illis iniquitatem ipsorum et in malitia eorum disperdet eos,
23. He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God will wipe them out.
24. disperdet illos Dominus Deus noster.
24.
