9
For the evil-doers will be cut off: but those who have faith in the Lord will have the earth for their heritage.
10
For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.
11
But the gentle will have the earth for their heritage; they will take their delight in peace without measure.
12
The sinner has evil designs against the upright, lifting up the voice of wrath against him.
13
He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.
14
The evil-doers have taken out their swords, their bows are bent; for crushing the poor, and to put to death those who are upright in their ways.
15
But their swords will be turned into their hearts, and their bows will be broken.
16
The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.
17
For the arms of the evil-doers will be broken: but the Lord is the support of the good.
18
The days of the upright are numbered by the Lord, and their heritage will be for ever.
19
They will not be shamed in the evil time, and in the days when all are in need of food they will have enough.
