Psalms 37:12-24

¹²The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth.

¹³The Lord doth 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 the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

¹⁸The LORD knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever.

¹⁹They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

²⁰For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs — they shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away.

²¹The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; 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.

²³It is of the LORD that a man's goings are established; and He delighted in his way.

²⁴Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth his hand.
