⁹ For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.

²¹ And thy people `are' all of them righteous, To the age they possess the earth, A branch of My planting, A work of My hands, to be beautified.

¹³ His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.

²³ And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I -- I do trust in Thee!

¹³ When thou criest, let thy gatherings deliver thee, And all of them carry away doth wind, Take away doth vanity, And whoso is trusting in Me inheriteth the land, And doth possess My holy mountain.

³⁵ I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,

³⁶ And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!

²⁹ The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.

¹¹ And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.

¹² The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.

¹³ This `is' the portion of wicked man with God, And the inheritance of terrible ones From the Mighty they receive.

¹⁴ If his sons multiply -- for them `is' a sword. And his offspring `are' not satisfied `with' bread.

¹⁵ His remnant in death are buried, And his widows do not weep.

¹⁶ If he heap up as dust silver, And as clay prepare clothing,

¹⁷ He prepareth -- and the righteous putteth `it' on, And the silver the innocent doth apportion.

¹⁸ He hath built as a moth his house, And as a booth a watchman hath made.

¹⁹ Rich he lieth down, and he is not gathered, His eyes he hath opened, and he is not.

²⁰ Overtake him as waters do terrors, By night stolen him away hath a whirlwind.

²¹ Take him up doth an east wind, and he goeth, And it frighteneth him from his place,

²² And it casteth at him, and doth not spare, From its hand he diligently fleeth.

²³ It clappeth at him its hands, And it hisseth at him from his place.

²³ It cometh to pass, at the filling of his belly, He sendeth forth against him The fierceness of His anger, Yea, He raineth on him in his eating.

²⁴ He fleeth from an iron weapon, Pass through him doth a bow of brass.

²⁵ One hath drawn, And it cometh out from the body, And a glittering weapon from his gall proceedeth. On him `are' terrors.

²⁶ All darkness is hid for his treasures, Consume him doth a fire not blown, Broken is the remnant in his tent.

²⁷ Reveal do the heavens his iniquity, And earth is raising itself against him.

²⁸ Remove doth the increase of his house, Poured forth in a day of His anger.

²⁹ This `is' the portion of a wicked man from God. And an inheritance appointed him by God.

¹⁰ and didst make us to our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the earth.'

¹⁶ but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.

¹⁴ Then dost thou delight thyself on Jehovah, And I have caused thee to ride on high places of earth, And have caused thee to eat the inheritance of Jacob thy father, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken!

²¹ For the upright do inhabit the earth, And the perfect are left in it,
