# Chapter 37
|
|
1. Do not fret because of evildoers,
|
|
Nor be envious of 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;
|
|
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
|
|
|
|
4. Delight yourself also 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 justice as the noonday.
|
|
|
|
7. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
|
|
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
|
|
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
|
|
|
|
8. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
|
|
Do not fret--it only causes harm.
|
|
|
|
9. For evildoers shall be cut off;
|
|
But those who wait on the Lord,
|
|
They shall inherit the earth.
|
|
|
|
10. For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
|
|
Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,
|
|
But it shall be no more.
|
|
|
|
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 laughs at him,
|
|
For He sees that his day is coming.
|
|
|
|
14. The wicked have drawn the sword
|
|
And have bent their bow,
|
|
To cast down the poor and needy,
|
|
To slay those who are of upright conduct.
|
|
|
|
15. Their sword shall enter their own heart,
|
|
And their bows shall be broken.
|
|
|
|
16. A little that a righteous man has
|
|
Is better than the riches of many 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 forever.
|
|
|
|
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,
|
|
Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.
|
|
Into smoke they shall vanish away.
|
|
|
|
21. The wicked borrows and does not repay,
|
|
But the righteous shows mercy and gives.
|
|
|
|
22. For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth,
|
|
But those cursed by Him shall be cut off.
|
|
|
|
23. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
|
|
And He delights in his way.
|
|
|
|
24. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
|
|
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. He is ever merciful, and lends;
|
|
And his descendants are blessed.
|
|
|
|
27. Depart from evil, and do good;
|
|
And dwell forevermore.
|
|
|
|
28. For the Lord loves justice,
|
|
And does not forsake His saints;
|
|
They are preserved forever,
|
|
But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
|
|
|
|
29. The righteous shall inherit the land,
|
|
And dwell in it forever.
|
|
|
|
30. The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,
|
|
And his tongue talks of justice.
|
|
|
|
31. The law of his God is in his heart;
|
|
None of his steps shall slide.
|
|
|
|
32. The wicked watches 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. 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.
|
|
|
|
35. I have seen the wicked in great power,
|
|
And spreading himself like a native green tree.
|
|
|
|
36. Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more;
|
|
Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
|
|
|
|
37. Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright;
|
|
For the future of that man is peace.
|
|
|
|
38. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together;
|
|
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
|
|
|
|
39. But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
|
|
He is their strength in the 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.
