11 But meek and humble men the earth Shall quietly [their time] possess, And they shall here delight themselves In plenty and in [holy] peace.
12 The wicked plots against the just, And at him grinds his [bloody] teeth.
13 The Lord derideth him, because His [dreadful] day he coming seeth.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, And bent their bow to [wound] and slay The poor and weak; and to cast down Men [that are] upright in their way.
15 But their own sword which they have drawn, Shall enter their own [guilty] hearts; And their strong bow which they have bent, Shall broke-[en in-] to pieces part.
