Psalms 37:12-20

The wicked person plots against a righteous one and grits his teeth at him. The Lord laughs at him because he has seen that his time is coming. Wicked people pull out their swords and bend their bows to kill oppressed and needy people, to slaughter those who are decent. ⌞But⌟ their own swords will pierce their hearts, and their bows will be broken. The little that the righteous person has is better than the wealth of many wicked people. The arms of wicked people will be broken, but the LORD continues to support righteous people. The LORD knows the daily ⌞struggles⌟ of innocent people. Their inheritance will last forever. They will not be put to shame in trying times. Even in times of famine they will be satisfied. But wicked people will disappear. The LORD’s enemies will vanish like the best part of a meadow. They will vanish like smoke.
