11. But the meek shall inherit the land; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12. The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as be upright in the way:
15. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16. Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
18. The Lord knoweth the days of the perfect: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19. They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the excellency of the pastures: they shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away.
21. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
22. For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the land; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23. A man's goings are established of the Lord; and he delighteth in his way.
24. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
25. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging their bread.
26. All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27. Depart from evil, and do good; dwell for evermore.
28. For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
