Psalms 37:7-15

⁷be thou subject to the Lord, and pray thou him. Do not thou pursue or follow him, that hath prosperity in his way; nor a man doing unright-fulness.

⁸Cease thou of ire, and forsake strong vengeance; do not thou pursue or follow, that thou do wickedly.

⁹For they, that do wickedly, shall be destroyed; but they that suffer the Lord, shall inherit the land.

¹⁰And yet a little, and a sinner shall not be; and thou shalt seek his place, and thou shalt not find it.

¹¹But mild men shall inherit the land; and shall delight in the multitude of peace.

¹²A sinner shall ambush the rightful or rightwise man; and he shall gnash with his teeth on him.

¹³But the Lord shall scorn the sinner; for he beholdeth that his day cometh.

¹⁴Sinners have drawn out sword; they bent their bow. To deceive a poor man and needy; to strangle rightful or right men of heart.

¹⁵Their sword enter into the heart of themselves; and their bow be broken.
