neither be thou envious
against the workers of iniquity.

and verily thou shalt be fed.

trust also in him;
and he shall bring it to pass.

⁶ And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,
and thy judgment as the noonday.

fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,
because of the man who bringeth
wicked devices to pass.

fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

but those that wait upon the LORD,
they shall inherit the earth.

and the wicked shall not be:
yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place,
and it shall not be.

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,
and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

¹⁵ Their sword shall enter into their own heart,
and their bows shall be broken.

¹⁶ A little that a righteous man hath
is better than the riches of many wicked.

¹⁷ For the arms of the wicked shall be broken:
but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

and their inheritance shall be for ever.

¹⁹ They shall not be ashamed in the evil time:
and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

and the enemies of the LORD
shall be as the fat of lambs:
they shall consume;
into smoke shall they consume away.

and payeth not again:
but the righteous sheweth mercy,
and giveth.

²² For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth;
and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

²³ The steps of a good man
are ordered by 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 bread.

²⁶ He is ever merciful, and lendeth;
and his seed is blessed.

²⁷ Depart from evil, and do good;
and 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.

and dwell therein for ever.

and his tongue talketh of judgment.

none of his steps shall slide.

and seeketh to slay him.

³³ The LORD will not leave him in his hand,
nor condemn him when he is judged.

and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land:
when the wicked are cut off,
thou shalt see it.

³⁵ I have seen the wicked in great power,
and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

³⁶ Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not:
yea, I sought him,
but he could not be found.

³⁷ Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright:
for the end of that man is peace.

the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

he is their strength in the time of trouble.

and deliver them:
he shall deliver them from the wicked,
and save them,
because they trust in him.
