Psalm 37:12-14

The Voice

¹² How that wicked man devises evil against God’s righteous ones!
    He grits his teeth, consumed by hate for the upright.
¹³ But oh, how the Lord laughs at him!
    He knows the wicked man will get his; the day is coming.

¹⁴ The wicked unsheathe their swords, pull taut their bows;
    the poor and needy are their victims,
    and evil is on the prowl to kill those with integrity, God’s beloved.
