Psalms 37:17

Protection and safetyJusticeGod's faithfulness

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

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

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.

19 In the time of evil they will not be ashamed, and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.
