[9 ](/kjv/psalms/37/9) For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. [10 ](/kjv/psalms/37/10) For yet a little while, and the wicked *shall* not *be:* yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it *shall* not *be*. [11 ](/kjv/psalms/37/11) But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. [12 ](/kjv/psalms/37/12) The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.* [13 ](/kjv/psalms/37/13) The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. [14 ](/kjv/psalms/37/14) The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, *and* to slay such as be of upright conversation.* [15 ](/kjv/psalms/37/15) Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. [16 ](/kjv/psalms/37/16) A little that a righteous man hath *is* better than the riches of many wicked. [17 ](/kjv/psalms/37/17) For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. [18 ](/kjv/psalms/37/18) The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. [19 ](/kjv/psalms/37/19) They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. [20 ](/kjv/psalms/37/20) But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD *shall be* as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.* [21 ](/kjv/psalms/37/21) The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. [22 ](/kjv/psalms/37/22) For *such as be* blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and *they that be* cursed of him shall be cut off. [23 ](/kjv/psalms/37/23) The steps of a *good* man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.* [24 ](/kjv/psalms/37/24) Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth *him with* his hand. [25 ](/kjv/psalms/37/25) I have been young, and *now* am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. [26 ](/kjv/psalms/37/26) *He is* ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed *is* blessed.* [27 ](/kjv/psalms/37/27) Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. [28 ](/kjv/psalms/37/28) For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. [29 ](/kjv/psalms/37/29) The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. [30 ](/kjv/psalms/37/30) The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. [31 ](/kjv/psalms/37/31) The law of his God *is* in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.* [32 ](/kjv/psalms/37/32) The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
