Psalms 37:6-16

⁶And he will bring forth as the light thy righteousness, and the justice of thy cause as the noonday.

⁷Be silent before the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who practices wicked devices.

⁸Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

⁹For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the Lord, these—shall truly inherit the land.

¹⁰For yet but for a little while, and the wicked shall be no more: yea, thou wilt look carefully at his place, and he shall not be there.

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves because of the abundance of peace.

¹²The wicked purposeth evil against the just, and gnasheth against him with his teeth.

¹³The Lord will laugh at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.

¹⁴The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cause the poor and needy to fall, and to slaughter such as are of an upright course of life.

¹⁵But their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

¹⁶Better is the little that the righteous hath, than the great riches of many wicked.
