The LORD rewards those who are faithful and righteous. Today he put you in my power, but I did not harm you, whom the LORD made king.

Then Sarai said to Abram, "It's your fault that Hagar despises me. I myself gave her to you, and ever since she found out that she was pregnant, she has despised me. May the LORD judge which of us is right, you or me!"

O God, declare me innocent, and defend my cause against the ungodly; deliver me from lying and evil people!

LORD, you are a God who punishes; reveal your anger!
