28 The wicked ^(A)flee when no one is pursuing,
But the righteous are ^[a]bold as a lion.

⁴ Those who forsake the law ^(A)praise the wicked,
But those who keep the law ^(B)strive with them.

¹² When the ^(A)righteous triumph, there is great glory,
But ^(B)when the wicked rise, men ^[a]hide themselves.

²⁸ When the wicked rise, men hide themselves;
But when they perish, the righteous increase.

² When the ^(A)righteous ^[a]increase, the people rejoice,
But when a wicked man rules, people groan.

⁷ The ^(A)righteous ^[a]is concerned for the rights of the poor,
The wicked does not understand such ^[b]concern.

¹⁶ When the wicked ^[a]increase, transgression increases;
But the ^(A)righteous will see their fall.

²⁷ An ^(A)unjust man is abominable to the righteous,
And he who is ^(B)upright in the way is abominable to the wicked.
