Psalm 37:12-16
English Standard Version
12 The wicked (A)plots against the righteous
and (B)gnashes his teeth at him,
13 but the Lord (C)laughs at the wicked,
for he sees that his (D)day is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword and (E)bend their bows
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose (F)way is upright;
15 their sword shall enter their own heart,
and their (G)bows shall be broken.
16 (H)Better is the little that the righteous has
than the abundance of many wicked.
