27 (A)Turn from evil and do good,
So that you will dwell (B)forever.
28 For the Lord (C)loves [a]justice
And (D)does not abandon His godly ones;
They are (E)protected forever,
But the [b](F)descendants of the wicked will be eliminated.
29 The righteous will (G)inherit the land
And (H)dwell in it forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous (I)utters wisdom,
And his tongue (J)speaks justice.
31 The (K)Law of his God is in his heart;
His (L)steps do not slip.
32 The (M)wicked spies upon the righteous
And (N)seeks to kill him.
33 The Lord will (O)not leave him in his hand
Or (P)let him be condemned when he is judged.
34 (Q)Wait for the Lord and keep His way,
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
When the (R)wicked are eliminated, you will see it.
