²⁵ Do not be afraid of sudden panic,^[a]
    or the storm of wickedness that will come.
²⁶ Yahweh will be your confidence^[b]
    and guard your foot from capture.

³³ The curse of Yahweh is on the house of the wicked,
    and the abode of the righteous ones he blesses.

¹⁶ There are six things Yahweh hates,
    and seven things are abominations of his soul:^[a]
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
    and hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸ a devising heart, plans of deception,
    feet that hurry to run to evil,^[b]
19 a false witness who breathes lies
    and sends out discord^[c] between brothers.

³ Yahweh will not cause a righteous person^[a] to go hungry,
    but the craving of the wicked he will thwart.

⁶ Blessings belong to the head of the righteous,
    but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
⁷ The memory of righteousness is like a blessing,
    but the name of the wicked will rot.

¹⁶ The wage of the righteous leads to life;
    the gain of the wicked to sin.

²⁴ The dread of the wicked will come upon him,
    but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
²⁵ With the passing of the tempest, there is no wickedness,
    but the righteous have a foundation forever.

²⁸ The hope of the righteous is gladness,
    but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.
²⁹ A stronghold for the upright is the way of Yahweh,
    but ruin belongs to evildoers.^[a]
30 The righteous one is forever; he will not be removed.
    But the wicked will not remain in the land.^[b]

³ The integrity of the upright guides them,
    but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

⁵ The righteousness of the blameless will keep his ways straight,
    but the wicked will fall by his wickedness.
⁶ The righteousness of the upright will save them,
    but by a scheme the treacherous will be taken captive.
⁷ With the death of a wicked person, hope will die,
    and the expectation of the godless perishes.
⁸ The righteous is delivered from trouble,
    but the wicked enters into it.
⁹ With a mouth, the godless shall destroy his neighbor,
    but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.
¹⁰ When good is with the righteous, the city rejoices,
    and with the perishing of the wicked, jubilation.
