Psalm 37:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 The wicked man plots against the righteous
and grinds his teeth at the sight of them.
13 But the Lord laughs at them,
knowing that their day[a] is approaching.
14 The wicked draw their swords
and string their bows
to bring down the poor[b] and the needy
and to slaughter those who are upright.
