Psalms 37:16

The little bit that a godly man owns is better than the wealth of many evil men, ¹ 

Pr 3:33; Pr 13:25; Pr 15:16,17; Pr 16:8; Pr 30:9; Ec 2:26; Ec 4:6; Mt 6:11; 1Ti 6:6

¹ tn Heb “Better [is] a little to the godly one than the wealth of many evil ones.” The following verses explain why this is true. Though a godly individual may seem to have only meager possessions, he always has what he needs and will eventually possess the land. The wicked may prosper for a brief time, but will eventually be destroyed by divine judgment and lose everything.
