Psalms 37:13-16 in English

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

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

¹³ While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.
