Psalms 37:16

16 Better is the little that the righteous have than the overabundant wealth of the wicked.

Psalms 37:16 In-Context

14 The wicked draw their swords and bend their bows to bring down the weak and the needy, to slaughter those whose way is right.
15 But the sword of the wicked will enter their own hearts! Their bows will be broken!
16 Better is the little that the righteous have than the overabundant wealth of the wicked.
17 The arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD supports the righteous.
18 The LORD is intimately acquainted with the lives of the blameless; their heritage will last forever.
