⁷ The instruments of the churl are evil: he devises wicked devices to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.

¹⁷ He who is quick to become angry will commit folly, And a crafty man is hated.

²⁹ Don't devise evil against your neighbor, Seeing he dwells securely by you.

⁷ He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

¹⁰ All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth To such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

⁸ But Yahweh said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:

²⁷ He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me in the way to the house of my master's relatives."
