Psalms 37:14-21

¹⁴A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.

¹⁵Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.

¹⁶Better is the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.

¹⁸Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is — to the age.

¹⁹They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.

²⁰But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.

²¹The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.
