PsalmsPsalm 37 |
1 FRET not because of evildoers, neither be envious of the workers of iniquity, |
2 For they shall soon wither like grass, and fade away as the green herbs. |
3 Trust in God, and do good; dwell in the land, and seek after faithfulness. |
4 Trust in the LORD; and he shall give you the desires of your heart. |
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass. |
6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday. |
7 Seek the LORD, and pray before him; envy not the man who does evil, and prospers in his way. |
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not yourself in any wise to do evil. |
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those who trust in the LORD shall inherit the earth. |
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall be no more: yea, you shall look for his place, and you shall not find it. |
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. |
12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. |
13 The LORD shall laugh at him; for he sees that his day is coming. |
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword and have bent their bow, to slay the poor and needy, and those who are upright in their way. |
15 Their swords shall enter into their own hearts, and their bows shall be broken. |
16 A little that a righteous man has is better than the great riches of the wicked. |
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholds the righteous. |
18 The LORD knows the days of the upright; and their inheritance shall be for ever. |
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. |
20 For the wicked shall perish, and the rich who are enemies of the LORD shall be consumed; they shall vanish like smoke. |
21 The wicked borrows, and pays not again; but the righteous shows mercy, and gives. |
22 For the blessed of the LORD shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be wiped out. |
23 The steps of a good man are established by the LORD; he sets his course. |
24 Though he fall, he shall not be hurt; for the LORD upholds him with his hand. |
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread. |
26 But he is ever merciful and lends; and his offspring is blessed. |
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and rest for evermore. |
28 For the LORD loves justice, and he forsakes not his righteous ones; he keeps them for ever; but the seed of the wicked, he destroys. |
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. |
30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of justice. |
31 The law of God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. |
32 The wicked lies in wait for the righteous, and seeks to slay him. |
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. |
34 Trust in the LORD and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. |
35 For I have seen the wicked boasting and spreading himself like stout forest trees; |
36 Yet when I passed by, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. |
37 Uphold the perfect and select the upright; for there is a good end for peaceful men. |
38 But sinners shall be destroyed together; yea, the end of the wicked shall be destruction. |
39 But the Saviour of the righteous is the LORD; he will help them in time of trouble. |
40 And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; he shall deliver them from the wicked and save them, because they trust in him. |
