10For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.
11But the gentle will have the earth for their heritage; they will take their delight in peace without measure.
12The sinner has evil designs against the upright, lifting up the voice of wrath against him.
13He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.
14The evil-doers have taken out their swords, their bows are bent; for crushing the poor, and to put to death those who are upright in their ways.
15But their swords will be turned into their hearts, and their bows will be broken.
16The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.
17For the arms of the evil-doers will be broken: but the Lord is the support of the good.
18The days of the upright are numbered by the Lord, and their heritage will be for ever.
19They will not be shamed in the evil time, and in the days when all are in need of food they will have enough.
20But the wrongdoers will come to destruction, and the haters of the Lord will be like the fat of lambs, they will be burned up; they will go up in smoke, and never again be seen.
21The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.
22Those who have his blessing will have the earth for their heritage; but those who are cursed by him will be cut off.
23The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way.
24Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.
25I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.
26All the day he is ready to have mercy and to give; his children are a blessing.
27Be turned from evil, and do good; and your place will be for ever.
28For the Lord is a lover of righteousness, and takes care of his saints; they will be kept safe for ever; but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off.
29The upright will have the earth for their heritage, and will go on living there for ever.
30The mouth of the good man says words of wisdom; the talk of his tongue is of righteousness.
31The law of his God is in his heart; he will never make a false step.
32The sinners are watching the upright man, desiring to put him to death.
33The Lord will not give him into their hands, or be against him when he is judged.
