Is better far then house or lands,
Of many a wicked doer.
[verse 17] The wickeds arms shall all be broke,* 1.1
But God's the just mans stay:
[verse 18] He knowes the days of upright folk,
Their heritage lasts for ay.* 1.2
[verse 19] They shall not once ashamed be
VVhen evill times betide:
And in the day of scarcitie,
They shall be satisfi'd.
[verse 20] But lo, the wicked shall decay,
As fat of Lambs consume:
Gods enemies shall fade away,
And vanish into fume.
[verse 21] The wicked man on borrowing goes,
But cares not to repay:
But still the righteous mercy showes,
And frankly gives away.
[verse 22] By such as he pronounceth blest,
The earth shall be enjoy'd:
And such as he doth curse supprest,
And utterly destroy'd.
