13 But the Lord laughs at those who do evil. He knows the day is coming when he will judge them.
14 Sinners pull out their swords. They bend their bows. They want to kill poor and needy people. They plan to murder those who lead honest lives.
15 But they will be killed with their own swords. Their own bows will be broken.
16 Those who do what is right may have very little. But it's better than the wealth of many sinners.
17 The power of those who are evil will be broken. But the Lord takes good care of those who do what is right.
18 Every day the Lord watches over those who are without blame. What he has given them will last forever.
19 When trouble comes to them, they will have what they need. When there is little food in the land, they will still have plenty.
