16 The trouble they cause recoils on them;

their violence comes down on their own heads.

17 I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;

I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High.

16 His mischief returns upon his own head,

and on his own skull his violence descends.

17 I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,

and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.

16 His mischief shall return upon his own head,

And his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

17 I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness:

And will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.

16 The trouble they make for others backfires on them.

The violence they plan falls on their own heads.

17 I will thank the Lord because he is just;

I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

16 His trouble shall return upon his own head,

And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.

17 I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness,

And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

16 They will get themselves into trouble;

the violence they cause will hurt only themselves.

17 I praise the Lord because he does what is right.

I sing praises to the Lord Most High.

16 His mischief shall return upon his own head,

And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

17 I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness,

And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.

16 His mischief lands back on his own head. 

His violence comes down on top of him. 

17 I will give thanks to the Lord for his righteousness. 

I will make music to praise the name of the Lord Most High. 

16 His trouble comes back on his own head,

and his violence falls on the top of his head.

17 I will thank the Lord for His righteousness;

I will sing about the name of Yahweh the Most High.

The terrible things he does come down on his own head.
