Psalms 37:10-24

¹⁰Therefore yet a litle while, and the wicked shall not appeare, and thou shalt looke after his place, and he shall not be found.

¹¹But meeke men shall possesse the earth, and shall haue their delite in the multitude of peace.

¹²The wicked practiseth against the iust, and gnasheth his teeth against him.

¹³But the Lord shall laugh him to scorne: for he seeth, that his day is comming.

¹⁴The wicked haue drawen their sworde, and haue bent their bowe, to cast downe the poore and needie, and to slay such as be of vpright conuersation.

¹⁵But their sword shall enter into their owne heart, and their bowes shalbe broken.

¹⁶A small thing vnto the iust man is better, then great riches to the wicked and mightie.

¹⁷For the armes of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord vpholdeth the iust men.

¹⁸The Lord knoweth the dayes of vpright men, and their inheritance shall bee perpetuall.

¹⁹They shall not be confounded in the perilous time, and in the daies of famine they shall haue ynough.

²⁰But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be consumed as the fatte of lambes: euen with the smoke shall they consume away.

²¹The wicked boroweth and payeth not againe. but the righteous is mercifull, and giueth.

²²For such as be blessed of God, shall inherite the lande, and they that be cursed of him, shalbe cut off.

²³The pathes of man are directed by the Lord: for he loueth his way.

²⁴Though he fall, hee shall not be cast off: for the Lord putteth vnder his hand.
