Psalms 37:15-25

¹⁵Their swords shall enter their own hearts, And their bows shall be broken in pieces.

¹⁶Better is the little of the righteous man Than the great abundance of the wicked;

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, But the LORD will uphold the righteous.

¹⁸The LORD careth for the life of the upright, And their inheritance shall endure for ever.

¹⁹They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, And in the days of famine they shall have enough.

²⁰But the wicked shall perish; Yea, the enemies of the LORD shall be consumed, like the glory of the fields; They shall be consumed into smoke.

²¹The wicked borroweth, and repayeth not; But the righteous is merciful and bountiful.

²²For they who are blessed by God shall inherit the land, And they who are cursed by him shall be rooted out.

²³The steps of the good man are directed by the LORD; He delighteth himself in his way.

²⁴Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, For the LORD holdeth him by the hand.

²⁵I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his offspring begging bread.
