9. For the evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
10. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
11. But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.
12. The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
13. But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
14. The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.
15. Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
16. Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.
17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
18. The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19. They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled:
20. because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
21. The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.
22. For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse him shall perish.
23. With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.
24. When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth his hand under him.
25. I have been young, and now am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
26. He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing.
27. Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.
28. For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
29. But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.
