Psalms 37:6-19
-
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
-
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
-
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
-
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
-
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
-
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
-
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
-
13 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
-
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
-
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
-
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
-
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
-
18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
-
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
