Psalms 37:12-24

¹²A sinner shall ambush the rightful or rightwise man; and he shall gnash with his teeth on him.

¹³But the Lord shall scorn the sinner; for he beholdeth that his day cometh.

¹⁴Sinners have drawn out sword; they bent their bow. To deceive a poor man and needy; to strangle rightful or right men of heart.

¹⁵Their sword enter into the heart of themselves; and their bow be broken.

¹⁶Better is a little thing to a just or rightwise man; than many riches of sinners.

¹⁷For the arms of sinners shall be all-broken; but the Lord confirmeth just or rightwise men.

¹⁸The Lord knoweth the days of the unwemmed; and their heritage shall be without end.

¹⁹They shall not be shamed in the evil time, and they shall be ful filled in the days of hunger;

²⁰for sinners shall perish. Forsooth anon as the enemies of the Lord be honoured, and enhanced; they failing shall fail as smoke.

²¹A sinner shall borrow, and shall not pay back; but a just or rightwise man hath mercy, and shall give.

²²For they that bless the Lord shall inherit the land; but they that curse him shall perish.

²³The goings of a man shall be dressed with the Lord; and he shall delight in his way.

²⁴When he falleth, he shall not be hurtled or hurled down; for the Lord undersetteth his hand.
