16A small thing vnto the iust man is better, then great riches to the wicked and mightie.
17For the armes of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord vpholdeth the iust men.
18The Lord knoweth the dayes of vpright men, and their inheritance shall bee perpetuall.
19They shall not be confounded in the perilous time, and in the daies of famine they shall haue ynough.
20But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be consumed as the fatte of lambes: euen with the smoke shall they consume away.
21The wicked boroweth and payeth not againe. but the righteous is mercifull, and giueth.
22For such as be blessed of God, shall inherite the lande, and they that be cursed of him, shalbe cut off.
23The pathes of man are directed by the Lord: for he loueth his way.
24Though he fall, hee shall not be cast off: for the Lord putteth vnder his hand.
25I haue beene yong, and am olde: yet I sawe neuer the righteous forsaken, nor his seede begging bread.
26But hee is euer mercifull and lendeth, and his seede enioyeth the blessing.
27Flee from euill and doe good, and dwell for euer.
28For the Lord loueth iudgement, and forsaketh not his Saintes: they shall be preserued for euermore: but the seede of the wicked shall be cut off.
29The righteous men shall inherit the lande, and dwell therein for euer.
30The mouth of the righteous will speake of wisedome, and his tongue will talke of iudgement.
31For the Lawe of his God is in his heart, and his steppes shall not slide.
32The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33But the Lord wil not leaue him in his hand, nor condemne him, when he is iudged.
34Waite thou on the Lord, and keepe his way, and he shall exalt thee, that thou shalt inherite the lande: when the wicked men shall perish, thou shalt see.
35I haue seene the wicked strong, and spreading himselfe like a greene bay tree.
36Yet he passed away, and loe, he was gone, and I sought him, but he could not be founde.
37Marke the vpright man, and beholde the iust: for the end of that man is peace.
38But the transgressours shall be destroyed together, and the ende of the wicked shall bee cut off.
39But the saluation of the righteous men shalbe of the Lord: he shalbe their strength in the time of trouble.
40For the Lord shall helpe them, and deliuer them: he shall deliuer them from the wicked, and shall saue them, because they trust in him.
