# Chapter 37
|
||||
1 Don’t worry about the wicked
|
||||
or envy those who do wrong.
|
||||
2 For like grass, they soon fade away.
|
||||
Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
|
||||
3 Trust in the Lord and do good.
|
||||
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
|
||||
4 Take delight in the Lord,
|
||||
and he will give you your heart’s desires.
|
||||
5 Commit everything you do to the Lord.
|
||||
Trust him, and he will help you.
|
||||
6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
|
||||
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
|
||||
7 Be still in the presence of the Lord,
|
||||
and wait patiently for him to act.
|
||||
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
|
||||
or fret about their wicked schemes.
|
||||
8 Stop being angry!
|
||||
Turn from your rage!
|
||||
Do not lose your temper—
|
||||
it only leads to harm.
|
||||
9 For the wicked will be destroyed,
|
||||
but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.
|
||||
10 Soon the wicked will disappear.
|
||||
Though you look for them, they will be gone.
|
||||
11 The lowly will possess the land
|
||||
and will live in peace and prosperity.
|
||||
12 The wicked plot against the godly;
|
||||
they snarl at them in defiance.
|
||||
13 But the Lord just laughs,
|
||||
for he sees their day of judgment coming.
|
||||
14 The wicked draw their swords
|
||||
and string their bows
|
||||
to kill the poor and the oppressed,
|
||||
to slaughter those who do right.
|
||||
15 But their swords will stab their own hearts,
|
||||
and their bows will be broken.
|
||||
16 It is better to be godly and have little
|
||||
than to be evil and rich.
|
||||
17 For the strength of the wicked will be shattered,
|
||||
but the Lord takes care of the godly.
|
||||
18 Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent,
|
||||
and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever.
|
||||
19 They will not be disgraced in hard times;
|
||||
even in famine they will have more than enough.
|
||||
20 But the wicked will die.
|
||||
The Lord’s enemies are like flowers in a field—
|
||||
they will disappear like smoke.
|
||||
21 The wicked borrow and never repay,
|
||||
but the godly are generous givers.
|
||||
22 Those the Lord blesses will possess the land,
|
||||
but those he curses will die.
|
||||
23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
|
||||
He delights in every detail of their lives.
|
||||
24 Though they stumble, they will never fall,
|
||||
for the Lord holds them by the hand.
|
||||
25 Once I was young, and now I am old.
|
||||
Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned
|
||||
or their children begging for bread.
|
||||
26 The godly always give generous loans to others,
|
||||
and their children are a blessing.
|
||||
27 Turn from evil and do good,
|
||||
and you will live in the land forever.
|
||||
28 For the Lord loves justice,
|
||||
and he will never abandon the godly.
|
||||
He will keep them safe forever,
|
||||
but the children of the wicked will die.
|
||||
29 The godly will possess the land
|
||||
and will live there forever.
|
||||
30 The godly offer good counsel;
|
||||
they teach right from wrong.
|
||||
31 They have made God’s law their own,
|
||||
so they will never slip from his path.
|
||||
32 The wicked wait in ambush for the godly,
|
||||
looking for an excuse to kill them.
|
||||
33 But the Lord will not let the wicked succeed
|
||||
or let the godly be condemned when they are put on trial.
|
||||
34 Put your hope in the Lord.
|
||||
Travel steadily along his path.
|
||||
He will honor you by giving you the land.
|
||||
You will see the wicked destroyed.
|
||||
35 I have seen wicked and ruthless people
|
||||
flourishing like a tree in its native soil.
|
||||
36 But when I looked again, they were gone!
|
||||
Though I searched for them, I could not find them!
|
||||
37 Look at those who are honest and good,
|
||||
for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.
|
||||
38 But the rebellious will be destroyed;
|
||||
they have no future.
|
||||
39 The Lord rescues the godly;
|
||||
he is their fortress in times of trouble.
|
||||
40 The Lord helps them,
|
||||
rescuing them from the wicked.
|
||||
He saves them,
|
||||
and they find shelter in him.
