17 The power of the wicked will be broken,but the Lord supports those who do right.
18 The Lord watches over the lives of the innocent,and their reward will last forever.
19 They will not be ashamed when trouble comes.They will be full in times of hunger.
20 But the wicked will die.The Lord’s enemies will be like the flowers of the fields;they will disappear like smoke.
21 The wicked borrow and don’t pay back,but those who do right give freely to others.
22 Those whom the Lord blesses will inherit the land,but those he curses will be sent away.
23 When people’s steps follow the Lord,God is pleased with their ways.
