Psalms 37:15-20 in English

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

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

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

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

¹⁹ They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

²⁰ But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away.

¹⁵ And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.

¹⁶ For I hoped in thee, O Lord: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

¹⁷ For I said, Lest mine enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.

¹⁸ For I am ready for plagues, and my grief is continually before me.

¹⁹ For I will declare mine iniquity, and be distressed for my sin.

²⁰ But mine enemies live, and are mightier than I: and they that hate me unjustly are multiplied.

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

¹⁷ because Yahweh will completely take away the strength of wicked people, but he will ◄sustain/take care of► people who live righteously.
