Psalm 37:13-15
New Catholic Bible

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.
15 Their swords will enter their own hearts,[c]
    and their bows will be shattered.
