Psalms 37:10-20 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. For yet a little while, and the wicked will not be;you will look diligently for their place, and it will not be.

11. But the meek will inherit the earth,and will delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

12. The wicked plot against the righteous,and grind their teeth against them.

13. The Lord will laugh at him,for He sees that his day is coming.

14. The wicked have drawn out the swordand have bent their bow,to cast down the poor and needy,and to slay those on the upright path.

15. Their sword will enter into their own heart,and their bows will be broken.

16. Better is a little that the righteous hasthan the abundance of many wicked.

17. For the arms of the wicked will be broken,but the Lord supports the righteous.

18. The Lord knows the days of people of integrity,and their inheritance will be forever.

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

20. But the wicked will perish,and the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of pastures;they will waste away, in smoke they will waste away.
