Psalm 37:10-12
New Catholic Bible
10 In a short while, the wicked will be no more;
no matter how diligently you search, you will not be able to find him.
11 But the meek[a] will possess the land
and enjoy an abundance of peace.
12 The wicked man plots against the righteous
and grinds his teeth at the sight of them.
Footnotes
- Psalm 37:11 The meek: another word for the poor, those who count solely on God and follow his law (see Mt 5:5). Indeed, the promises of the Lord are only for the meek who depend solely on him (v. 9) and will enjoy an abundance of peace. “Peace” symbolizes the beneficence of the godly (see Ps 72:7) in contrast with the life of suffering (v. 12; see Ps 119:65f).
