Psalms [Praises] 37:16-22

¹⁶Better is a little that the upright has, than the abundance of many wicked.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Adonai upholds the upright.

¹⁸Adonai knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.

¹⁹They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

²⁰But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Adonai shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish— vanish like smoke.

²¹The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the upright give generously.

²²For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
