21 b The wicked is obliged to borrow and cannot pay,
But the righteous is liberal and can give.
22 For they that are blessed of Him shall inherit the
land, And they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off.
23 D With Jahve are a man's steps established,
And He hath delight in his way.
24 When he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, For Jahve upholdeth his hand.
25 3 I have been young, and now am old,
Yet have I not seen a righteous man forsaken, And his seed begging bread.
26 He continually giveth and lendeth, And his seed is a blessing.
27 D Depart from evil and do good,
And dwell for evermore.
28 For Jahve loveth the right, And will not forsake His saints. For ever are they preserved,
But the seed of the wicked is cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell therein for ever.
30 S The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom,
And his tongue speaketh what is right.
31 The law of his God is in his heart, His steps do not slip.
32 X The wicked lieth in wait for the righteous,
And seeketh to slay him.
33 Jahve doth not give him over into his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 p Wait on Jahve and keep His way,
So shall He exalt thee to inherit the land ; With the cutting off the wicked shalt thou delight thine eyes.
35 1 I have seen a violent wicked man,
And he spread himself like an indigenous tree of luxuriant foliage.
36 And one passed by, and lo he was not,
And I sought him and he was not to be found.
