Psalms 37:12-20

Merciless people make plots against good people and snarl like animals, but the Lord laughs and knows their time is coming soon. The wicked kill with swords and shoot arrows to murder the poor and the needy and all who do right. But they will be killed by their own swords, and their arrows will be broken. It is better to live right and be poor than to be sinful and rich. The wicked will lose all of their power, but the LORD gives strength to everyone who is good. Those who obey the LORD are daily in his care, and what he has given them will be theirs forever. They won't be in trouble when times are bad, and they will have plenty when food is scarce. Wicked people are enemies of the LORD and will vanish like smoke from a field on fire.
