Old Testament

Psalms 37:10-18 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

10. For yet a little while, and thenthe wicked shall not be;His place thou shalt consider well,but it thou shalt not see.

11. But by inheritance the earththe meek ones shall possess:They also shall delight themselvesin an abundant peace.

12. The wicked plots against the just,and at him whets his teeth:

13. The Lord shall laugh at him, becausehis day he coming seeth.

14. The wicked have drawn out the sword,and bent their bow, to slayThe poor and needy, and to killmen of an upright way.

15. But their own sword, which they have drawn,shall enter their own heart:Their bows which they have bent shall break,and into pieces part.

16. A little that a just man hathis more and better farThan is the wealth of many suchas lewd and wicked are.

17. For sinners' arms shall broken be;but God the just sustains.

18. God knows the just man's days, and stilltheir heritage remains.
