22. His blessing covers like a riverand soaks the dry land like a flood.

23. Similarly, his anger will overtakethe nations,as he changed fresh waters into brine.

24. For the godly, his paths are straight,but for the lawless,there are obstacles.

25. From the beginning, good thingshave been made for good people,but bad things for sinners.
