19 The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord,
    and the neediest people shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the tyrant shall be no more,
    and the scoffer shall cease to be;

    the mockers(F) will disappear,
    and all who have an eye for evil(G) will be cut down—

    who ensnare the defender in court(H)
    and with false testimony(I) deprive the innocent of justice.(J)
