17. for the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
18. Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever:
19. they shall not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20. For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume, like smoke shall they consume away.
21. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteous is gracious and giveth:
22. for those blessed of him shall possess the land, and they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
23. The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way:
24. though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.
25. I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:
26. all the day he is gracious and lendeth, and his seed shall be a blessing.
