Psalms 37:12-24
12The wickedH7563 schemeH2161 against the righteousH6662 and gnashH2786 their teethH8127 at themH5921,13but the LordH136 laughsH7832, seeingH7200 thatH3588 their dayH3117 is comingH935.
14The wickedH7563 have drawnH6605 the swordH2719and bentH1869 the bowH7198to bring downH5307 the poorH6041 and needyH34,to slayH2873 those whose waysH1870 are uprightH3477.15But their swordsH2719 will pierceH935 their own heartsH3820,and their bowsH7198 will be brokenH7665.
16BetterH2896 is the littleH4592 of the righteousH6662than the abundanceH1995 of manyH7227 who are wickedH7563.17ForH3588 the armsH2220 of the wickedH7563 will be brokenH7665,but the LORDH3068 upholdsH5564 the righteousH6662.
18The LORDH3068 knowsH3045 the daysH3117 of the blamelessH8549,and their inheritanceH5159 will last foreverH1961H5769.19In the timeH6256 of evilH7451 they will notH3808 be ashamedH954,and in the daysH3117 of famineH7459 they will be satisfiedH7646.
20ButH3588 the wickedH7563 and enemiesH341 of the LORDH3068will perishH6 like the gloryH3368 of the fieldsH3733.They will vanishH3615;like smokeH6227 they will fade awayH3615.
21The wickedH7563 borrowH3867 and do notH3808 repayH7999,but the righteousH6662 are graciousH2603 and givingH5414.22SurelyH3588 those He blessesH1288 will inheritH3423 the landH776,but the cursedH7043 will be destroyedH3772.
23The stepsH4703 of a manH1397 are orderedH3559 by the LORDH3068who takes delightH2654 in his journeyH1870.24ThoughH3588 he fallsH5307, he will notH3808 be overwhelmedH2904,forH3588 the LORDH3068 is holdingH5564 his handH3027.1
