Psalms 37:14-18 in English

¹⁴ The 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.

¹⁵ And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.

¹⁶ For I hoped in thee, O Lord: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

¹⁷ For I said, Lest mine enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.

¹⁸ For I am ready for plagues, and my grief is continually before me.
