But his delight {is} in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. {wither: Heb. fade}

For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as {with} a shield. {compass: Heb. crown}
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. {Destroy...: or, Make them guilty} {by...: or, from their counsels}
