Psalm 37:1-2
New King James Version
The Heritage of the Righteous and the Calamity of the Wicked
A Psalm of David.
37 Do(A) not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down (B)like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
Psalm 37:9-15
New King James Version
9 For evildoers shall be [a]cut off;
But those who wait on the Lord,
They shall (A)inherit the earth.
10 For (B)yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, (C)you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
11 (D)But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plots against the just,
(E)And gnashes at him with his teeth.
13 (F)The Lord laughs at him,
For He sees that (G)his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn the sword
And have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay those who are of upright conduct.
15 Their sword shall enter their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.
