Psalms 37:12-26
12The wickedH7563 plottethH2161 against the justH6662, and gnashethH2786 upon him with his teethH8127.1
13The LordH136 shall laughH7832 at him: for he seethH7200 that his dayH3117 is comingH935.
14The wickedH7563 have drawn outH6605 the swordH2719, and have bentH1869 their bowH7198, to cast downH5307 the poorH6041 and needyH34, and to slayH2873 such as be of uprightH3477 conversationH1870.2
15Their swordH2719 shall enterH935 into their own heartH3820, and their bowsH7198 shall be brokenH7665.
16A littleH4592 that a righteous manH6662 hath is betterH2896 than the richesH1995 of manyH7227 wickedH7563.
17For the armsH2220 of the wickedH7563 shall be brokenH7665: But YhwhH3068 upholdethH5564 the righteousH6662.
18YhwhH3068 knowethH3045 the daysH3117 of the uprightH8549: and their inheritanceH5159 shall be for everH5769.
19They shall not be ashamedH954 in the evilH7451 timeH6256: and in the daysH3117 of famineH7459 they shall be satisfiedH7646.
20But the wickedH7563 shall perishH6, and the enemiesH341 of YhwhH3068 shall be as the fatH3368 of lambsH3733: they shall consumeH3615; into smokeH6227 shall they consume awayH3615.3
21The wickedH7563 borrowethH3867, and payeth not againH7999: but the righteousH6662 sheweth mercyH2603, and givethH5414.
22For such as be blessedH1288 of him shall inheritH3423 the earthH776; and they that be cursedH7043 of him shall be cut offH3772.
23The stepsH4703 of a good manH1397 are orderedH3559 by YhwhH3068: and he delightethH2654 in his wayH1870.4
24Though he fallH5307, he shall not be utterly cast downH2904: for YhwhH3068 upholdethH5564 him with his handH3027.
25I have been youngH5288, and now am oldH2204; yet have I not seenH7200 the righteousH6662 forsakenH5800, nor his seedH2233 beggingH1245 breadH3899.
26He is everH3117 mercifulH2603, and lendethH3867; and his seedH2233 is blessedH1293.5
