13The Lord laugheth at him; For he seeth that his day is coming.
14The wicked draw the sword, And bend their bow, To cast down the afflicted and the needy, And to slay the upright.
15Their swords shall enter their own hearts, And their bows shall be broken in pieces.
16Better is the little of the righteous man Than the great abundance of the wicked;
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, But the LORD will uphold the righteous.
18The LORD careth for the life of the upright, And their inheritance shall endure for ever.
19They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, And in the days of famine they shall have enough.
20But the wicked shall perish; Yea, the enemies of the LORD shall be consumed, like the glory of the fields; They shall be consumed into smoke.
21The wicked borroweth, and repayeth not; But the righteous is merciful and bountiful.
22For they who are blessed by God shall inherit the land, And they who are cursed by him shall be rooted out.
23The steps of the good man are directed by the LORD; He delighteth himself in his way.
