- The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just.
- The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip.
- The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, seeking their very lives;
- but the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
- Wait for the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

- I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a green tree in its native soil,
- but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found.
- Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a future for the man of peace.
- But all sinners will be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.
- The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
|
- The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
