9(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow);
10Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, And utter words out of their heart?
11Can the rush grow up without mire? Can the flag grow without water?
12Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down, It withereth before any other herb.
13So are the paths of all that forget God; And the hope of the godless man shall perish:
14Whose confidence shall break in sunder, And whose trust is a spider's web.
15He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.
16He is green before the sun, And his shoots go forth over his garden.
17His roots are wrapped about the'stone -heap, He beholdeth the place of stones.
18If he be destroyed from his place, Then it shall deny him,'saying , I have not seen thee.
19Behold, this is the joy of his way; And out of the earth shall others spring.
20Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, Neither will he uphold the evil-doers.
21He will yet fill thy mouth with laughter, And thy lips with shouting.
22They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; And the tent of the wicked shall be no more.
