Psalm 37:17
“For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 37Meaning
The arms or power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous; divine support does not guarantee immunity from injury, oppression, disability, or loss.
Violence has limits before God
Verses 12–20 depict plots, weapons, and apparent power of the wicked, yet insist that injustice is temporary and cannot secure the future.
Read carefully
The arms or power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous; divine support does not guarantee immunity from injury, oppression, disability, or loss.
Reflection
The arms or power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous; divine support does not guarantee immunity from injury, oppression, disability, or loss.
