^13 (12) For you, Adonai, bless the righteous;
you surround them with favor like a shield.

^20 (19) The righteous person suffers many evils,
but Adonai rescues him out of them all.

⁸ The righteous is delivered from trouble,
    and the wicked comes to take his place.

²¹ Depend on it: the evil will not go unpunished;
    but the offspring of the righteous will escape.

⁶ Righteousness protects him whose way is honest,
    but wickedness brings down the sinner.
