Psalms 37:3-19

³Trust in the Lord, and do good; remain in the land, and deal faithfully:

⁴then the Lord will be your delight, he will grant you your heart's petitions.

⁵Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act,

⁶making clear as the light your right, and your just cause clear as the noon-day.

⁷In silence and patience wait on the Lord. Be not kindled to anger at those who prosper. At those who execute evil devices.

⁸Desist from anger, abandon wrath: be not kindled to anger it leads but to evil:

⁹for evildoers will be cut off, but the land will be theirs, who wait on the Lord.

¹⁰Yet but a little, and the wicked vanish: look at their place: they are there no more.

¹¹But the humble will have the land, and the rapture of peace in abundance.

¹²The wicked plots against the righteous, snarls like a wild animal;

¹³the Lord laughs, for he sees that his day is coming.

¹⁴The wicked have drawn the sword, and bent the bow, to fell the poor, to slay those who walk uprightly;

¹⁵but their sword will pierce their own heart, and their bows will be broken in pieces.

¹⁶Better is the righteous person's little than the wealth of many wicked.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.

¹⁸The Lord watches over the days of the blameless, their heritage will continue forever.

¹⁹They will not be shamed in the evil time, in the days of famine they will be satisfied.
