Psalms 37:11-17 God's Word Translation (GW)

11. Oppressed people will inherit the landand will enjoy unlimited peace.

12. The wicked person plots against a righteous oneand grits his teeth at him.

13. The Lord laughs at himbecause he has seen that his time is coming.

14. Wicked people pull out their swords and bend their bowsto kill oppressed and needy people,to slaughter those who are decent.

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

16. The little that the righteous person has is betterthan the wealth of many wicked people.

17. The arms of wicked people will be broken,but the Lord continues to support righteous people.
