Psalms 37:12-26

12The wickedH7563 plotteth against the just,And gnasheth upon him with his teethH8127.13The LordH136 will laughH7832 at him;For he seeth that his dayH3117 is comingH935.14The wickedH7563 have drawn out the swordH2719, and have bentH1869 their bowH7198,To castH5307 down the poorH6041 and needyH34,To slay such as are uprightH3477 in the wayH1870.15Their swordH2719 shall enter into their own heartH3820,And their bowsH7198 shall be brokenH7665.16Better is a littleH4592 that the righteousH6662 hathThan the abundanceH1995 of manyH7227 wickedH7563.17For the armsH2220 of the wickedH7563 shall be brokenH7665;But Jehovah upholdeth the righteousH6662.18Jehovah knoweth the daysH3117 of the perfectH8549;And their inheritanceH5159 shall beH1961 for everH5769.19They shall not be putH954 to shameH954 in the timeH6256 of evilH7451;And in the daysH3117 of famine they shall be satisfiedH7646.20But the wickedH7563 shall perishH6,And the enemiesH341 of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambsH3733:They shall consume; in smokeH6227 shall they consume awayH3615.21The wickedH7563 borroweth, and payeth not again;But the righteousH6662 dealeth graciously, and giveth.22For such as are blessedH1288 of him shall inheritH3423 the landH776;And they that are cursedH7043 of him shall be cutH3772 off.23A man’sH1397 goings are establishedH3559 of Jehovah;And he delighteth in his wayH1870.24Though he fallH5307, he shall not be utterly castH5307 downH5307;For Jehovah upholdeth him with his handH3027.25I have beenH1961 youngH5288, and now amH1961 oldH2204;Yet have I not seenH7200 the righteousH6662 forsaken,Nor his seedH2233 begging breadH3899.26All the dayH3117 long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth;And his seedH2233 is blessed.
