20 (כ) For the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be like the beauty of the pastures; They melt away in smoke: they melt away. 21 (ל) The wicked borrows, and does not pay; And the righteous deals generously, and gives. 22 For His blessed ones shall inherit the earth, And His cursed ones shall be cut off. 23 (מ) From Jehovah are a man's steps established, And He delighteth in his way; 24 If he falls, he shall not lie prostrate, For Jehovah holds up his hand. 25 (נ) A youth have I been, now I am old, And I have not seen a righteous man forsaken, Or his seed begging bread. 26 All day long he is dealing generously and lending, And his seed is blessed. 27 (ס) Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore. 28 For Jehovah loves judgment, And forsakes not them whom He favours. (ע) They are preserved for ever (The unrighteous are destroyed for ever?), And the seed of the wicked is cut off. 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell thereon for ever. 30 (פ) The mouth of the righteous meditates wisdom, And his tongue speaks judgment. 31 The law of his God is in his heart; His steps shall not waver. 32 (צ) The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to slay him; 33 Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, And will not condemn him when he is judged. 34 (ק) Wait for Jehovah, and keep His way, And He will exalt thee to inherit the land; When the wicked is cut off, thou shalt see [it]. 35 (ר) I have seen the wicked terror-striking And spreading himself abroad like [a tree] native to the soil [and] green. 36 And he passed (I passed by?), and lo, he was not [there]; And I sought for him, and he was not to be found. 37 (ש) Mark the perfect, and behold the upright; For there is a posterity to the man of peace. 38 And apostates are destroyed together; The posterity of the wicked is cut off. 39 (ת) And the salvation of the righteous is from Jehovah, Their stronghold in time of trouble. 40 And Jehovah helps them and rescues them; He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they take refuge in Him.
