Psalms 37:14-21

¹⁴The wicked have drawn out their swords and have bent their bows to cast down the oppressed and needy, to kill those who are upright.

¹⁵Their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.

¹⁶Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked people.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked people will be broken, but Yahweh supports the righteous people.

¹⁸Yahweh watches over the blameless day by day, and their heritage will be forever.

¹⁹They will not be ashamed when times are bad. When famine comes, they will have enough to eat.

²⁰But evil men will perish. Yahweh's enemies will be like the glory of the pastures; they will be consumed and disappear in the smoke.

²¹The wicked person borrows but does not repay, but the righteous person is generous and gives.
