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 cause the poor and needy to fall, and to slaughter such as are of an upright course of life.
15But their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16Better is the little that the righteous hath, than the great riches of many wicked.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the upholder of the righteous is the Lord.
18The Lord regardeth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall endure for ever.
19They shall not be made ashamed in the time of unhappiness; and in the days of famine shall they be satisfied.
20But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the beauty of the meadow: they pass away; in smoke they pass away.
21The wicked borroweth, and repayeth not; but the righteous is beneficent, and giveth.
22For those blessed of him shall inherit the land; and those cursed of him shall be cut off.
23By the Lord are the steps of the righteous man established; and he findeth pleasure in his course of life.
