The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright in the way.

Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.

Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.
