I will praise the LORD!

Better the little that the righteous have
    than the wealth of many wicked;
for the power of the wicked will be broken,
    but the LORD upholds the righteous.

The blameless spend their days under the LORD’s care,
    and their inheritance will endure forever.
In times of disaster they will not wither;
    in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.

  (Psalm 37:16-19, NIV)*
