13 אֲדֹנָי יִשְׂחַק־לוֹכִּי־רָאָה כִּֽי־יָבֹא יוֹמֽוֹ׃	13 But the LORD laughs at them, knowing their day is coming.
14 חֶרֶב ׀ פָּתְחוּ רְשָׁעִים וְדָרְכוּ קַשְׁתָּםלְהַפִּיל עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹןלִטְבוֹחַ יִשְׁרֵי־דָֽרֶךְ׃	14 The wicked draw their swords; they string their bows To fell the poor and oppressed, to slaughter those whose way is honest.
15 חַרְבָּם תָּבוֹא בְלִבָּםוְקַשְּׁתוֹתָם תִּשָּׁבַֽרְנָה׃	15 Their swords will pierce their own hearts; their bows will be broken.
16 טוֹב־מְעַט לַצַּדִּיקמֵהֲמוֹן רְשָׁעִים רַבִּֽים׃	16 Better the poverty of the just than the great wealth of the wicked.

25 נַעַר ׀ הָיִיתִי גַּם־זָקַנְתִּיוְֽלֹא־רָאִיתִי צַדִּיק נֶעֱזָבוְזַרְעוֹ מְבַקֶּשׁ־לָֽחֶם׃	25 Neither in my youth, nor now in old age have I ever seen the just abandoned or their children begging bread.
26 כׇּל־הַיּוֹם חוֹנֵן וּמַלְוֶהוְזַרְעוֹ לִבְרָכָֽה׃	26 The just always lend generously, and their children become a blessing.
27 סוּר מֵרָע וַעֲשֵׂה־טוֹבוּשְׁכֹן לְעוֹלָֽם׃	27 Turn from evil and do good, that you may inhabit the land forever.
28 כִּי יְהֹוָה ׀ אֹהֵב מִשְׁפָּטוְלֹא־יַעֲזֹב אֶת־חֲסִידָיו לְעוֹלָם נִשְׁמָרוּוְזֶרַע רְשָׁעִים נִכְרָֽת׃	28 For the LORD loves justice and does not abandon the faithful. When the unjust are destroyed, and the children of the wicked cut off,

30 פִּֽי־צַדִּיק יֶהְגֶּה חׇכְמָהוּלְשׁוֹנוֹ תְּדַבֵּר מִשְׁפָּֽט׃	30 The mouths of the just utter wisdom; their tongues speak what is right.
31 תּוֹרַת אֱלֹהָיו בְּלִבּוֹלֹא תִמְעַד אֲשֻׁרָֽיו׃	31 God's teaching is in their hearts; their steps do not falter.
32 צוֹפֶה רָשָׁע לַצַּדִּיקוּמְבַקֵּשׁ לַהֲמִיתֽוֹ׃	32 The wicked spy on the just and seek to kill them.
33 יְהֹוָה לֹא־יַעַזְבֶנּוּ בְיָדוֹוְלֹא יַרְשִׁיעֶנּוּ בְּהִשָּׁפְטֽוֹ׃	33 But the LORD does not leave the just in their power, nor let them be condemned when tried.
34 קַוֵּה אֶל־יְהֹוָה ׀ וּשְׁמֹר דַּרְכּוֹוִֽירוֹמִמְךָ לָרֶשֶׁת אָרֶץבְּהִכָּרֵת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽה׃	34 Wait eagerly for the LORD, and keep to the way; God will raise you to possess the land; you will gloat when the wicked are cut off.

36 וַֽיַּעֲבֹר וְהִנֵּה אֵינֶנּוּוָאֲבַקְשֵׁהוּ וְלֹא נִמְצָֽא׃	36 When I passed by again, they were gone; though I searched, they could not be found.
37 שְׁמׇר־תָּם וּרְאֵה יָשָׁרכִּֽי־אַחֲרִית לְאִישׁ שָׁלֽוֹם׃	37 Observe the honest, mark the upright; those at peace with God have a future.
