Tehillim 37:11-19 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. But the anavim (meek ones) shall inherit Eretz; and shall delight themselves in rov shalom (great peace; see Psa 119:165).

12. The rasha plotteth against the tzaddik, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

13. Adonoi shall laugh at him, for He seeth that his yom is coming.

14. The resha'im have drawn out the cherev, and have bent their keshet, to cast down the oni (poor) and evyon (needy), and to slay such as be yishrei derech (upright ones on the road, that walk uprightly).

15. Their cherev shall enter into their own lev, and their keshatot (bows) shall be broken.

16. A little that a tzaddik hath is better than the riches of resha'im rabbim.

17. For the zero'ot (arms, powers) of the resha'im shall be broken; but Hashem upholdeth the tzaddikim.

18. Hashem knoweth the yamim of the temimim (blameless ones); and their nachalah (inheritance) shall be l'olahm (forever).

19. They shall not be put to shame in time of evil; and in the days of famine yisba'u (they shall be satisfied, enjoy plenty).
