Psalms 37:13

JudgmentGod's power and sovereignty

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,

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.

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