1 The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the  righteous as a young lion is confident.
         
                                
                        2 By the transgression of a land many [are] its heads. And by  an intelligent man, Who knoweth right -- it is prolonged.
         
                                
                        3 A man -- poor and oppressing the weak, [Is] a sweeping  rain, and there is no bread.
         
                                
                        4 Those forsaking the law praise the wicked, Those keeping  the law plead against them.
         
                                
                        5 Evil men understand not judgment, And those seeking Jehovah  understand all.
         
                                
                        6 Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, Than the  perverse of ways who is rich.
         
                                
                        7 Whoso is keeping the law is an intelligent son, And a  friend of gluttons, Doth cause his father to blush.
