Rh :But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
 * The righteous see it, and are glad:
 * And the innocent laugh them to scorn.
 * Whereas our substance is not cut down,
 * But the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
 * Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace:
 * Thereby good shall come unto thee.
 * Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth,
 * And lay up his words in thine heart.
 * If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up,
 * Thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
 * Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust.
 * And the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
 * Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence.
 * And thou shalt have plenty of silver.
 * For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty,
 * And shalt lift up thy face unto God.
 * Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him,
 * And he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
 * Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee:
 * And the light shall shine upon thy ways.
 * When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up;
 * And he shall save the humble person.
 * He shall deliver the island of the innocent:
 * And it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
