Psalms 37:16-20
161Better is the little of the righteous Than the abundance of many wicked.17For the 2arms of the wicked will be broken, But the Lord 3sustains the righteous.18The Lord 4knows the days of the 5blameless, And their 6inheritance will be forever.19They will not be ashamed in the time of evil, And 7in the days of famine they will have abundance.20But the 8wicked will perish; And the enemies of the Lord will be like the 9glory of the pastures, They vanish--10like smoke they vanish away.
