Psalms 37:10-24

¹⁰For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

¹²The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

¹³The Lord will laugh at him; For he seeth that his day is coming.

¹⁴The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay such as are upright in the way.

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

¹⁶Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.

¹⁸Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; And their inheritance shall be for ever.

¹⁹They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

²⁰But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away.

²¹The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.

²²For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land; And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.

²³A man’s goings are established of Jehovah; And he delighteth in his way.

²⁴Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.
