Psalms 37:12-24

12The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,13but the Lord laughs, seeing that their day is coming.

14The wicked have drawn the swordand bent the bowto bring down the poor and needy,to slay those whose ways are upright.15But their swords will pierce their own hearts,and their bows will be broken.
16Better is the little of the righteousthan the abundance of many who are wicked.17For the arms of the wicked will be broken,but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18The LORD knows the days of the blameless,and their inheritance will last forever.19In the time of evil they will not be ashamed,and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.
20But the wicked and enemies of the LORDwill perish like the glory of the fields.They will vanish;like smoke they will fade away.
21The wicked borrow and do not repay,but the righteous are gracious and giving.22Surely those He blesses will inherit the land,but the cursed will be destroyed.
23The steps of a man are ordered by the LORDwho takes delight in his journey.24Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed,for the LORD is holding his hand.1
