17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,but the Lord upholds the righteous.
18. The Lord knows the days of the blameless,and their heritage will remain forever;
19. they are not put to shame in evil times;in the days of famine they have abundance.
20. But the wicked will perish;the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures;they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
21. The wicked borrows but does not pay back,but the righteous is generous and gives;
