9
For the wicked shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
10
Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look diligently for their place, they will not be there.
11
But the meek shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
12
The wicked plot against the righteous, and gnash their teeth at them;
13
but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that their day is coming.
14
The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to bring down the poor and needy, to kill those who walk uprightly;
15
their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16
Better is a little that the righteous person has than the abundance of many wicked.
17
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.
18
The Lord knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will abide forever;
19
they are not put to shame in evil times, in the days of famine they have abundance.
