Psalms 37:11-20

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the land, And delight themselves in the fulness of prosperity.

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

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

¹⁴The wicked draw the sword, And bend their bow, To cast down the afflicted and the needy, And to slay the upright.

¹⁵Their swords shall enter their own hearts, And their bows shall be broken in pieces.

¹⁶Better is the little of the righteous man Than the great abundance of the wicked;

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, But the LORD will uphold the righteous.

¹⁸The LORD careth for the life of the upright, And their inheritance shall endure for ever.

¹⁹They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, And in the days of famine they shall have enough.

²⁰But the wicked shall perish; Yea, the enemies of the LORD shall be consumed, like the glory of the fields; They shall be consumed into smoke.
