Psalms 37

[ ]

& Do not fret because of evildoers, Be not envious toward wrongdoers.

& For they will wither quickly like the grass And fade like the green herb.

& Trust in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and (Or {feed securely} or {feed on His faithfulness}) cultivate faithfulness.

& Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart.

& Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.

& He will bring forth your righteousness as the light And your judgment as the noonday.

& (Or {Be still}) Rest in the LORD and wait (Or {longingly}) patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.

& Cease from anger and forsake wrath; Do not fret; {it leads} only to evildoing.

& For evildoers will be cut off, But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land.

& Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more; And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be {there.}

& But the humble will inherit the land And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

& The wicked plots against the righteous And gnashes at him with his teeth.

& The Lord laughs at him, For He sees his day is coming.

& The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow To cast down the afflicted and the needy, To slay those who are upright in conduct.

& Their sword will enter their own heart, And their bows will be broken.

& Better is the little of the righteous Than the abundance of many wicked.

& For the arms of the wicked will be broken, But the LORD sustains the righteous.

& The LORD knows the days of the blameless, And their inheritance will be forever.

& They will not be ashamed in the time of evil, And in the days of famine they will have abundance.

& But the wicked will perish; And the enemies of the LORD will be like the (I.e. flowers) glory of the pastures, They vanish--like smoke they vanish away.

& The wicked borrows and does not pay back, But the righteous is gracious and gives.

& For those blessed by Him will inherit the land, But those cursed by Him will be cut off.

& The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way.

& When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.

& I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his descendants begging bread.

& All day long he is gracious and lends, And his descendants are a blessing.

& Depart from evil and do good, So you will abide forever.

& For the LORD loves justice And does not forsake His godly ones; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.

& The righteous will inherit the land And dwell in it forever.

& The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks justice.

& The law of his God is in his heart; His steps do not slip.

& The wicked spies upon the righteous And seeks to kill him.

& The LORD will not leave him in his hand Or let him be condemned when he is judged.

& Wait for the LORD and keep His way, And He will exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

& I have seen a wicked, violent man Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.

& Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more; I sought for him, but he could not be found.

& Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright; For the man of peace will have a posterity.

& But transgressors will be altogether destroyed; The posterity of the wicked will be cut off.

& But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in time of trouble.

& The LORD helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, Because they take refuge in Him.
