Psalms Chapter 37

37 : 1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, nor be thou envious against those who work unrighteousness.

37 : 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

37 : 3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good. Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness.

37 : 4 Delight thyself also in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.

37 : 5 Commit thy way to Jehovah. Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.

37 : 6 And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy justice as the noon-day.

37 : 7 Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him. Fret not thyself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.

37 : 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Fret not thyself, it tends only to evil-doing.

37 : 9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.

37 : 10 For yet a little while, and the wicked man shall not be. Yea, thou shall diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.

37 : 11 But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

37 : 12 The wicked man plots against the righteous man, and gnashes upon him with his teeth.

37 : 13 The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.

37 : 14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill such as are upright in the way.

37 : 15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

37 : 16 Better is a little that the righteous man has than the abundance of many wicked men.

37 : 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholds the righteous.

37 : 18 Jehovah knows the days of the perfect, and their inheritance shall be forever.

37 : 19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

37 : 20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah is as the fat of lambs: they shall disintegrate; they shall disintegrate away into smoke.

37 : 21 The wicked man borrows, and pays not again, but the righteous man deals graciously, and gives.

37 : 22 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land, and those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.

37 : 23 A man's goings are established by Jehovah, and he delights in his way.

37 : 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholds him with his hand.

37 : 25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen a righteous man forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

37 : 26 All the day long he deals graciously, and lends, and his seed is blessed.

37 : 27 Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore.

37 : 28 For Jehovah loves justice, and forsakes not his sanctified. They are preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

37 : 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever.

37 : 30 The mouth of a righteous man talks of wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.

37 : 31 The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

37 : 32 A wicked man watches a righteous man, and seeks to kill him.

37 : 33 Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

37 : 34 Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land. When sinners are cut off, thou shall see it.

37 : 35 I have seen a wicked man in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

37 : 36 But I passed by, and, lo, he was not. Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37 : 37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for there is a happy end to the man of peace.

37 : 38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The end of the wicked shall be cut off.

37 : 39 But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble,

37 : 40 and Jehovah helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from sinners, and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
