10 For ^ayet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, ^byou will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more. ‡

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

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.
