Psalms 37:16 - John Wesley's Notes

Psalms 37:16

14 The wicked have drawn the sword
And have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay those who are of upright conduct.

15 Their sword shall enter their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.

16 ^aA little that a righteous man has
Is better than the riches of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
But the Lord upholds the righteous.

18 The Lord knows the days of the upright,
And their inheritance shall be forever.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time,
And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 But the wicked shall perish;
And the enemies of the Lord,
Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.
Into smoke they shall vanish away.

21 The wicked borrows and does not repay,
But ^athe righteous shows mercy and gives.

22 ^aFor those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth,
But those cursed by Him shall be¹ cut off.

23 ^aThe steps of a good man are¹ ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.

24 ^aThough he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
