Psalms 37:12-24
12The wickedH7563 1plotsH2161 against the righteousH6662 And 2gnashesH2786 at him with his teethH8127.13The LordH136 3laughsH7832 at him, For He seesH7200 4his dayH3117 is comingH935.14The wickedH7563 have drawnH6605 the swordH2719 and 5bentH1869 their bowH7198 To castH5307 downH5307 the 6afflictedH6041 and the needyH34, To 7slayH2873 those whoH3477 are uprightH3477 in conductH1870.15Their swordH2719 will enterH935 their own heartH3820, And their 8bowsH7198 will be brokenH7665.
169BetterH2896 is the littleH4592 of the righteousH6662 ThanH4480 the abundanceH1995 of manyH7227 wickedH7563.17For the 10armsH2220 of the wickedH7563 will be brokenH7665, But the LordH3068 11sustainsH5564 the righteousH6662.18The LordH3068 12knowsH3045 the daysH3117 of the 13blamelessH8549, And their 14inheritanceH5159 will be foreverH5769.19They will not be ashamedH954 in the timeH6256 of evilH7463, And 15in the daysH3117 of famineH7459 they will haveH7646 abundanceH7646.20But the 16wickedH7563 will perishH6; And the enemiesH340 of the LordH3068 will be like the 17gloryH3368 of the pasturesH3733, They vanishH3615--18like smokeH6227 they vanishH3615 away.21The wickedH7563 borrowsH3867 and does not payH7999 backH7999, But the righteousH6662 19is graciousH2603 and givesH5414.22For 20those blessedH1288 by Him will 21inheritH3423 the landH776, But those 22cursedH7043 by Him will be cutH3772 offH3772.
2323The stepsH4703 of a manH1397 are establishedH3559 by the LordH3068, And He 24delightsH2654 in his wayH1870.24WhenH3588 25he fallsH5307, he will not be hurledH2904 headlongH2904, BecauseH3588 26the LordH3068 is the One 27who holdsH5564 his handH3027.
