I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.

Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.

For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
