37:1
1Do not be incensed because of evildoers;
Do not be envious of wrongdoers.
Psa. 37
:2
37:2
For they soon
awither like grass
And fade away like green herbage.
Psa. 37
:3
37:3
Trust in Jehovah, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on
His faithfulness.
Psa. 37
:4
37:4
Delight yourself in Jehovah,
And He will give you the requests of your heart.
Psa. 37
:5
37:5
aCommit your way to Jehovah,
And trust in Him; and He will act.
Psa. 37
:6
37:6
And He will cause your righteousness to go forth like
alight,
And your justness like noonday.
Psa. 37
:7
37:7
Be still before Jehovah, and wait for Him;
Do not be incensed because of him who enjoys prosperity on his way,
Because of the man who performs
his evil schemes.
Psa. 37
:8
37:8
Cease from
aanger and forsake wrath;
Do not be incensed; it
leads only to evil.
Psa. 37
:9
37:9
For the evildoers will be cut off;
But those who wait on Jehovah,
They will
ainherit the land.
Psa. 37
:10
37:10
And in a little while longer there will be no wicked man;
Indeed, you will look diligently for his place, and he will not be
there.
Psa. 37
:11
37:11
But the
alowly will inherit the land
And delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psa. 37
:12
37:12
The wicked man makes evil schemes against the righteous man
And
agnashes his teeth at him.
Psa. 37
:13
37:13
The Lord will laugh at him,
For He sees that his day will come.
Psa. 37
:14
37:14
The wicked have drawn out the sword
And bent their bow,
To cast the poor and the needy down,
To slaughter those who are upright in
their way.
Psa. 37
:15
37:15
Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their bows will be broken.
Psa. 37
:16
37:16
Better is the
alittle that the righteous man has
Than the abundance of many wicked.
Psa. 37
:17
37:17
For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
But Jehovah upholds the righteous.
Psa. 37
:18
37:18
Jehovah knows the days of the perfect,
And their inheritance will be forever.
Psa. 37
:19
37:19
They will not be put to shame in a time of evil,
And in the days of famine they will be satisfied.
Psa. 37
:20
37:20
But the wicked will perish,
And the enemies of Jehovah will be like the glory of the pastures:
They are consumed; in smoke they are consumed.
Psa. 37
:21
37:21
The wicked borrow but do not repay,
But the righteous is gracious and gives.
Psa. 37
:22
37:22
For those
ablessed by Him will
binherit the land,
But those cursed by Him will be cut off.
Psa. 37
:23
37:23
A man’s
asteps are established by Jehovah,
And He delights in his way.
Psa. 37
:24
37:24
If he falls, he is not utterly cast down;
For Jehovah upholds him by the hand.
Psa. 37
:25
37:25
I was
once a young man; now I am old.
Yet I have not seen the righteous man forsaken,
Nor his seed seeking bread.
Psa. 37
:26
37:26
He is always gracious and
alends,
And his seed becomes a blessing.
Psa. 37
:27
37:27
aTurn away from evil and do good,
And abide forever.
Psa. 37
:28
37:28
For Jehovah loves justice
And does not abandon His faithful ones;
They are kept forever;
But the seed of the wicked is cut off.
Psa. 37
:29
37:29
The righteous will inherit the land,
And they will abide in it forever.
Psa. 37
:30
37:30
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
And his tongue speaks justice.
Psa. 37
:31
37:31
The law of his God is in his heart;
His steps do not slip.
Psa. 37
:32
37:32
The wicked man watches for the righteous man
And seeks to slay him.
Psa. 37
:33
37:33
Jehovah does not leave him in his hand,
Nor let him be condemned when he is judged.
Psa. 37
:34
37:34
Wait for Jehovah,
And keep His way;
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you will see
it.
Psa. 37
:35
37:35
I have seen the wicked man terrorizing,
And spreading himself like a luxuriant native tree.
Psa. 37
:36
37:36
Then someone passes by, and behold, he is not there;
I search for him, and he is not found.
Psa. 37
:37
37:37
Observe the perfect man, and watch the upright man;
For there is a future for the man of
apeace.
Psa. 37
:38
37:38
But the transgressors will be altogether destroyed;
The future of the wicked will be cut off.
Psa. 37
:39
37:39
And the salvation of the righteous is from Jehovah;
He is their stronghold in a time of distress.
Psa. 37
:40
37:40
And Jehovah helps them and rescues them;
He rescues them from the wicked,
And saves them, for they
atake refuge in Him.
