Psalms 37:9-18

⁹For evil-doers shall be cut off; But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.

¹⁰For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

¹²The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon 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 cast down the poor and needy, To slay such as are upright in the way.

¹⁵Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken.

¹⁶Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.

¹⁸Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; And their inheritance shall be for ever.
