Psalms 37:9-19

⁹For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.

¹⁰And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.

¹¹And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.

¹²The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.

¹³The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.

¹⁴A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.

¹⁵Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.

¹⁶Better is the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.

¹⁸Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is — to the age.

¹⁹They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.
