Psa.|37:Title|-||a|Of David
Psa.|37:1|-||1|Do not be incensed because of evildoers;Do not be envious of wrongdoers.
Psa.|37:2|-|For they soon |a|wither like grassAnd fade away like green herbage.
Psa.|37:3|-|Trust in Jehovah, and do good;Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
Psa.|37:4|-|Delight yourself in Jehovah,And He will give you the requests of your heart.
Psa.|37:5|-||a|Commit your way to Jehovah,And trust in Him; and He will act.
Psa.|37:6|-|And He will cause your righteousness to go forth like |a|light,And your justness like noonday.
Psa.|37:7|-|Be still before Jehovah, and wait for Him;Do not be incensed because of him who enjoys prosperity on his way,
Because of the man who performs his evil schemes.
Psa.|37:8|-|Cease from |a|anger and forsake wrath;Do not be incensed; it leads only to evil.
Psa.|37:9|-|For the evildoers will be cut off;But those who wait on Jehovah,
They will |a|inherit the land.
Psa.|37:10|-|And in a little while longer there will be no wicked man;Indeed, you will look diligently for his place, and he will not be there.
Psa.|37:11|-|But the |a|lowly will inherit the landAnd delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psa.|37:12|-|The wicked man makes evil schemes against the righteous manAnd |a|gnashes his teeth at him.
Psa.|37:13|-|The Lord will laugh at him,For He sees that his day will come.
Psa.|37:14|-|The wicked have drawn out the swordAnd bent their bow,
To cast the poor and the needy down,To slaughter those who are upright in their way.
Psa.|37:15|-|Their sword will enter their own heart,And their bows will be broken.
Psa.|37:16|-|Better is the |a|little that the righteous man hasThan the abundance of many wicked.
Psa.|37:17|-|For the arms of the wicked will be broken,But Jehovah upholds the righteous.
Psa.|37:18|-|Jehovah knows the days of the perfect,And their inheritance will be forever.
Psa.|37:19|-|They will not be put to shame in a time of evil,And in the days of famine they will be satisfied.
Psa.|37:20|-|But the wicked will perish,And the enemies of Jehovah will be like the glory of the pastures:
They are consumed; in smoke they are consumed.
Psa.|37:21|-|The wicked borrow but do not repay,But the righteous is gracious and gives.
Psa.|37:22|-|For those |a|blessed by Him will |b|inherit the land,But those cursed by Him will be cut off.
Psa.|37:23|-|A man’s |a|steps are established by Jehovah,And He delights in his way.
Psa.|37:24|-|If he falls, he is not utterly cast down;For Jehovah upholds him by the hand.
Psa.|37:25|-|I was once a young man; now I am old.Yet I have not seen the righteous man forsaken,
Nor his seed seeking bread.
Psa.|37:26|-|He is always gracious and |a|lends,And his seed becomes a blessing.
Psa.|37:27|-||a|Turn away from evil and do good,And abide forever.
Psa.|37:28|-|For Jehovah loves justiceAnd does not abandon His faithful ones;
They are kept forever;But the seed of the wicked is cut off.
Psa.|37:29|-|The righteous will inherit the land,And they will abide in it forever.
Psa.|37:30|-|The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,And his tongue speaks justice.
Psa.|37:31|-|The law of his God is in his heart;His steps do not slip.
Psa.|37:32|-|The wicked man watches for the righteous manAnd seeks to slay him.
Psa.|37:33|-|Jehovah does not leave him in his hand,Nor let him be condemned when he is judged.
Psa.|37:34|-|Wait for Jehovah,And keep His way;
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
Psa.|37:35|-|I have seen the wicked man terrorizing,And spreading himself like a luxuriant native tree.
Psa.|37:36|-|Then someone passes by, and behold, he is not there;I search for him, and he is not found.
Psa.|37:37|-|Observe the perfect man, and watch the upright man;For there is a future for the man of |a|peace.
Psa.|37:38|-|But the transgressors will be altogether destroyed;The future of the wicked will be cut off.
Psa.|37:39|-|And the salvation of the righteous is from Jehovah;He is their stronghold in a time of distress.
Psa.|37:40|-|And Jehovah helps them and rescues them;He rescues them from the wicked,
And saves them, for they |a|take refuge in Him.
