“A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.”
Psalms 37:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 37:16
The contrast between 'little' and 'riches' establishes unexpected math: less with righteousness exceeds more with wickedness. This wisdom principle (Proverbs 15:16-17, 16:8) challenges materialism's calculus. The righteous person's 'little' includes peace, divine favor, and clean conscience—intangibles that outweigh gold. The wicked's 'riches' bring anxiety, guilt, and ultimate loss. 'Better than' statements throughout wisdom literature teach qualitative distinctions: contentment with sufficiency surpasses abundance with corruption.
