9
Evil people will be sent away, but those who trust the Lord will inherit the land.
10
In a little while the wicked will be no more. You may look for them, but they will be gone.
11
People who are not proud will inherit the land and will enjoy complete peace.
12
The wicked make evil plans against good people. They grind their teeth at them in anger.
13
But the Lord laughs at the wicked, because he sees that their day is coming.
14
The wicked draw their swords and bend their bows to kill the poor and helpless, to kill those who are honest.
15
But their swords will stab their own hearts, and their bows will break.
16
It is better to have little and be right than to have much and be wrong.
17
The power of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord supports those who do right.
18
The Lord watches over the lives of the innocent, and their reward will last forever.
19
They will not be ashamed when trouble comes. They will be full in times of hunger.
