37:1 |
Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong;
|
37:2 |
for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
|
37:3 |
Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
|
37:4 |
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
|
37:5 |
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
|
37:6 |
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
|
37:7 |
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
|
37:8 |
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret--it leads only to evil.
|
37:9 |
For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
|
37:10 |
A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
|
37:11 |
But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.
|
37:12 |
The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them;
|
37:13 |
but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.
|
37:14 |
The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.
|
37:15 |
But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
|
37:16 |
Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked;
|
37:17 |
for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
|
37:18 |
The days of the blameless are known to the LORD, and their inheritance will endure forever.
|
37:19 |
In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
|
37:20 |
But the wicked will perish: The LORD's enemies will be like the beauty of the fields, they will vanish--vanish like smoke.
|
37:21 |
The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;
|
37:22 |
those the LORD blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be cut off.
|
37:23 |
If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm;
|
37:24 |
though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
|
37:25 |
I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.
|
37:26 |
They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed.
|
37:27 |
Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.
|
37:28 |
For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off;
|
37:29 |
the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
|
37:30 |
The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just.
|
37:31 |
The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip.
|
37:32 |
The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, seeking their very lives;
|
37:33 |
but the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
|
37:34 |
Wait for the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
|
37:35 |
I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a green tree in its native soil,
|
37:36 |
but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found.
|
37:37 |
Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a future for the man of peace.
|
37:38 |
But all sinners will be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off.
|
37:39 |
The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
|
37:40 |
The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
