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.
34Be waiting for the Lord, and keep his way; and you will be lifted up, and have the land for your heritage: when the evil-doers are cut off, you will see it.
35I have seen the evil-doer in great power, covering the earth like a great tree.
36But he came to an end, and there was no sign of him; I made a search for him and he was not there.
