The arms of the wicked shall be broken

Psalm 37
12 The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him, 
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming. 
14 The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose way is upright; 
15 their sword shall enter their own heart, and theirbows shall be broken. 
16 Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance 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 blameless, and their heritage will remain forever; 
19 they are not put to shame in evil times; in the days of famine they have abundance. 
20 But the wicked will perish; the enemies of the LORD are like the glory of the pastures; they vanish--like smoke they vanish away. 
21 The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives; 
22for those blessed by the LORD shallinherit the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off. 
23 The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way; 
24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand.
