Psalms 37:16

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.

¹⁵ But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.

Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many who are wicked.

¹⁷ For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.

¹⁸ The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will last forever.
