- The wicked plots against the righteous And gnashes at him with his teeth.
- The Lord laughs at him, For He sees his day is coming.
- The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow To cast down the afflicted and the needy, To slay those who are upright in conduct.
- Their sword will enter their own heart, And their bows will be broken.
- Better is the little of the righteous Than the abundance of many wicked.
|
- For the arms of the wicked will be broken, But the LORD sustains the righteous.
- The LORD knows the days of the blameless, And their inheritance will be forever.
- They will not be ashamed in the time of evil, And in the days of famine they will have abundance.
- But the wicked will perish; And the enemies of the LORD will be like the glory of the pastures, They vanish--like smoke they vanish away.
- The wicked borrows and does not pay back, But the righteous is gracious and gives.
|
- For those blessed by Him will inherit the land, But those cursed by Him will be cut off.
