verse 12 The wicked plots against the just, gnashing at him his teeth. verse 13 The Lord shall laugh at him because his day at hand he seeth. verse 14 The wicked have drawn out their sword, & bent their bow have they To cast the poor and needy down, to kill th' upright in way.
verse 15 Their sword shall enter their own heart, their bows shall broken be, verse 16 The just mans little better is, than wicked's treasury. verse 17 For th' arms of wicked shall be broke, the Lord the just doth stay: verse 18 The Lord doth know-upright mens days, and their lot is for ay.
verse 19 They never shall ashamed be in any time of ill; ⟨p. 98⟩And when the days of famine come, then shall they have their fill. verse 20 But wicked men Jehovah's foes, as lambs fat shall decay: They shall consume, yea, into smoke they shall consume away.
