psalms 37

1 - Don't fret because of evildoers,neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

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

3 - Trust in The LORD, and do good.Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

4 - Also delight yourself in The LORD,and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 - Commit your way to The LORD.Trust also in him, and he will do this:

6 - he will make your righteousness go out as the light,and your justice as the noon day sun.

7 - Rest in The LORD, and wait patiently for him.Don't fret because of him who prospers in his way,because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

8 - Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.Don't fret, it leads only to evildoing.

9 - For evildoers shall be cut off,but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.

10 - For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more.Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.

11 - But the humble shall inherit the land,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 will laugh at him,for he sees 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,to kill those who are upright on the path.

15 - Their sword shall enter into their own heart.Their bows shall be broken.

16 - Better is a little that the righteous has,than the abundance 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 perfect.Their inheritance shall be forever.

19 - They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil.In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 - But the wicked shall perish.The enemies of the LORD shall be like the beauty of the fields.They will vanish-vanish like smoke.

21 - The wicked borrow, and don't pay back,but the righteous give generously.

22 - For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land.Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.

23 - A man's goings are established by The LORD.He delights in his way.

24 - Though he stumble, he shall not fall,for the LORD holds him up with his hand.

25 - I have been young, and now am old,yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,nor his children begging for bread.

26 - All day long he deals graciously, and lends.His offspring is blessed.

27 - Depart from evil, and do good.Live securely forever.

28 - For the LORD loves justice,and doesn't forsake his saints.They are preserved forever,but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 - The righteous shall inherit the land,and live in it forever.

30 - The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom.His tongue speaks 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 kill him.

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

34 - Wait for The LORD, and keep his way,and he will 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,spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

36 - But he passed away, and behold, he was not.Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37 - Mark the perfect man, and see the upright,for there is a future for the man of peace.

38 - As for transgressors, they 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 stronghold in the time of trouble.

40 - The LORD helps them, and rescues them.He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them,Because they have taken refuge in him.
