And fade like the green herb. |

Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries
out wicked schemes. |

The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their
bow To cast down the afflicted and the needy, To slay those who are upright in
conduct. |

|
Their sword will enter their own heart, And
their bows will be broken. |

Better is the little of the righteous Than the
abundance of many wicked. |

And in the days of famine they will have abundance. |

of the LORD will be like the glory of the pastures, They vanish-like smoke they
vanish away. |

the righteous is gracious and gives. |

And He delights in his way. |

Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand. |

I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have
not seen the righteous forsaken Or his descendants begging bread. |

All day long he is gracious and lends, And his
descendants are a blessing. |

Depart from evil and do good, So you will abide
forever. |

himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil. |
|

Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright;
For the man of peace will have a posterity. |
