PSALMS ยท Chapter 37
37:1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be you envious
against the workers of iniquity.
37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as
the green herb.
37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land,
and verily you shall be fed.
37:4 Delight yourself also in the LORD: and he shall give you the desires
of your heart.
37:5 Commit your way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall
bring it to pass.
37:6 And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and
your judgment as the noonday.
37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself
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 yourself in any
way to do evil.
37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD,
they shall inherit the earth.
37:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, you
shall diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves
in the abundance of peace.
37:12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes upon him with
his teeth.
37:13 The LORD shall 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, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
37:15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows
shall be broken.
37:16 A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of
many wicked.
37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholds
the righteous.
37:18 The LORD knows the days of the upright: and their inheritance
shall be for ever.
37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of
famine they shall be satisfied.
37:20 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.
37:21 The wicked borrows, and pays not again: but the righteous shows
mercy, and gives.
37:22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they
that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights
in his way.
37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD
upholds him with his hand.
37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous
forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
37:26 He is ever merciful, and lends; and his seed is blessed.
37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
37:28 For the LORD loves judgment, and forsakes not his saints; they
are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks
of judgment.
37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
37:32 The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.
37:33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when
he is judged.
37:34 Wait on 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.
37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself
like a green bay tree.
37:36 Yet he passed away, 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 the end of
that man is peace.
37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of
the wicked shall be cut off.
37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their
strength in the time of trouble.
37:40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver
them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
