Psalms 37:16 in Context — Psalms 37

14 O perversos pegarão a espada e armarão seu arco, para abaterem ao miserável e necessitado, para matarem os corretos no caminho.

15 Mas sua espada entrará em seus corações, e seus arcos serão quebrados.

16 O pouco que o justo [tem] é melhor do que a riqueza de muitos perversos.

17 Porque os braços dos perversos serão quebrados, mas o SENHOR sustenta os justos.

18 O SENHOR conhece os dias dos corretos, e a herança deles permanecerá para sempre.
