NET Bible
"The little bit that a godly man owns is better than the wealth of many evil men,"
— Psalms 37:16, NET Bible
“A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.”
“Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked. ”
“Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.”
“For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.”
“The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.”
“A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.”
The Lord laughs in disgust at them, for he knows that their day is coming.
Evil men draw their swords and prepare their bows, to bring down the oppressed and needy, and to slaughter those who are godly.
Their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
The little bit that a godly man owns is better than the wealth of many evil men,
for evil men will lose their power, but the LORD sustains the godly.
The LORD watches over the innocent day by day and they possess a permanent inheritance.
They will not be ashamed when hard times come; when famine comes they will have enough to eat.
