Psalm 37:12

Verse 12 of 40. The 37th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.

9For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.

10For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.

11But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

12The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.

13The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.

14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright on the path.

15Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.

16Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
