Psalms 37:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.

11 But the meek will inherit the land and delight in abundant prosperity.

12 The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,

13 but the Lord laughs, seeing that their day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.
