Chapter 37

1


 

  A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil doers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.  

 

 

-

2


 

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

 

 

-

3


 

  Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Commit thy way to the LORD; trust also in him; and he will bring it to pass.  

 

 

-

6


 

  And he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noon-day.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.  

 

 

-

9


 

  For evil doers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.  

 

 

-

10


 

  For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yes, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.  

 

 

-

11


 

  But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.  

 

 

-

12


 

  The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.  

 

 

-

13


 

  The Lord will laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.  

 

 

-

14


 

  The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as are of upright deportment.  

 

 

-

15


 

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

 

 

-

16


 

  A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.  

 

 

-

17


 

  For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.  

 

 

-

18


 

  The LORD knoweth 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


 

  But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.  

 

 

-

21


 

  The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.  

 

 

-

22


 

  For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the earth; and they that are cursed by him shall be cut off.  

 

 

-

23


 

  The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.  

 

 

-

24


 

  Though he should fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.  

 

 

-

25


 

  I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.  

 

 

-

26


 

  He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.  

 

 

-

27


 

  Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.  

 

 

-

28


 

  For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.  

 

 

-

29


 

  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.  

 

 

-

30


 

  The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.  

 

 

-

31


 

  The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.  

 

 

-

32


 

  The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.  

 

 

-

33


 

  The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.  

 

 

-

34


 

  Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.  

 

 

-

35


 

  I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.  

 

 

-

36


 

  Yet he passed away, and lo, he was not: yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.  

 

 

-

37


 

  Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.  

 

 

-

38


 

  But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.  

 

 

-

39


 

  But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.  

 

 

-

40


 

  And the LORD will help them, and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
