Psalms 37:12-24

12The wickedH7563 plotteth against the righteousH6662, and gnasheth his teethH8127 against him.13The LordH136 laugheth 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 afflictedH6041 and needyH34, to slay those that are uprightH3477 in [the] wayH1870:15their swordH2719 shall enter into their own heartH3820, and their bowsH7198 shall be brokenH7665.16The littleH4592 that the righteousH6662 hath is betterH2896 than 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 ashamedH954 in the timeH6256 of evilH7451, and in the daysH3117 of famine they shall be satisfiedH7646.20For the wickedH7563 shall perishH6, and the enemiesH341 of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambsH3733: they shall consume, like smokeH6227 shall they consume awayH3615.21The wickedH7563 borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteousH6662 is gracious and giveth:22for those blessedH1288 of him shall possessH3423 the landH776, and they that are cursedH7043 of him shall be cutH3772 off.23The stepsH4703 of a manH1397 are establishedH3559 by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his wayH1870:24though he fallH5307, he shall not be utterly castH5307 downH5307, for Jehovah upholdeth his handH3027.
