Psalm 37:12-17

Common English Bible

¹² The wicked plot against the righteous,
    grinding their teeth at them.
¹³ But my Lord just laughs at them
    because he knows that their day is coming.
¹⁴ The wicked draw their swords and bend their bows
    to bring down the weak and the needy,
    to slaughter those whose way is right.
¹⁵ But the sword of the wicked will enter their own hearts!
    Their bows will be broken!

¹⁶ Better is the little that the righteous have
    than the overabundant wealth of the wicked.^[a]
17 The arms of the wicked will be broken,
    but the Lord supports the righteous.
