11 ^aBut the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. ‡

12 The wicked plots against the just,
^aAnd gnashes at him with his teeth. ‡

14 The wicked have drawn the sword
And have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay those who are of upright conduct.

15 Their sword shall enter their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.
