| 5There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is in the company of the righteous. | 5Terror will grip them, for God is with those who obey him. |
| 6You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed, yet the LORD is their shelter. | 6The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the LORD will protect his people. |
