9For evil-doers shall be cut off;

But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.

10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:

Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.

11But the meek shall inherit the land,

And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

12The wicked plotteth against the just,

And gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

13The Lord will laugh at him;

For he seeth that his day is coming.

14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,

To cast down the poor and needy,

To slay such as are upright in the way.

15Their sword shall enter into their own heart,

And their bows shall be broken.

16Better is a little that the righteous hath

Than the abundance of many wicked.

17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken;

But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.

18Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect;

And their inheritance shall be for ever.

19They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil;

And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20But the wicked shall perish,

And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs:

They shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away.

21The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again;

But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.

22For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land;

And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
