17 For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is  sustaining the righteous.
         
                                
                        18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their  inheritance is -- to the age.
         
                                
                        19 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of  famine they are satisfied.
         
                                
                        20 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the  preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have  been consumed.
         
                                
                        21 The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the  righteous is gracious and giving.
         
                                
                        22 For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled  ones are cut off.
         
                                
                        23 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been  prepared, And his way he desireth.
