37:1 |
Do not fret because of evildoers, Be not envious toward wrongdoers.
|
37:2 |
For they will wither quickly like the grass And fade like the green herb.
|
37:3 |
Trust in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
|
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 also in Him, and He will do it.
|
37:6 |
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light And your judgment as the noonday.
|
37:7 |
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 carries out wicked schemes.
|
37:8 |
Cease from anger and forsake wrath; Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
|
37:9 |
For evildoers will be cut off, But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.
|
37:10 |
Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more; And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there.
|
37:11 |
But the humble will inherit the land And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
|
37:12 |
The wicked plots against the righteous And gnashes at him with his teeth.
|
37:13 |
The Lord laughs at him, For He sees his day is coming.
|
37:14 |
The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow To cast down the afflicted and the needy, To slay those who are upright in conduct.
|
37:15 |
Their sword will enter their own heart, And their bows will be broken.
|
37:16 |
Better is the little of the righteous Than the abundance of many wicked.
|
37:17 |
For the arms of the wicked will be broken, But the Lord sustains the righteous.
|
37:18 |
The Lord knows the days of the blameless, And their inheritance will be forever.
|
37:19 |
They will not be ashamed in the time of evil, And in the days of famine they will have abundance.
|
37:20 |
But the wicked will perish; And the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of the pastures, They vanish--like smoke they vanish away.
|
37:21 |
The wicked borrows and does not pay back, But the righteous is gracious and gives.
|
37:22 |
For those blessed by Him will inherit the land, But those cursed by Him will be cut off.
|
37:23 |
The steps of a man are established by the Lord, And He delights in his way.
|
37:24 |
When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.
|
37:25 |
I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his descendants begging bread.
|
37:26 |
All day long he is gracious and lends, And his descendants are a blessing.
|
37:27 |
Depart from evil and do good, So you will abide forever.
|
37:28 |
For the Lord loves justice And does not forsake His godly ones; They are preserved forever, But the descendants 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 utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks justice.
|
37:31 |
The law of his God is in his heart; His steps do not slip.
|
37:32 |
The wicked spies upon the righteous And seeks to kill him.
|
37:33 |
The Lord will not leave him in his hand Or let him be condemned when he is judged.
|
37:34 |
Wait for the Lord and keep His way, And He will exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
|
37:35 |
I have seen a wicked, violent man Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.
|
37:36 |
Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more; I sought for him, but he could not be found.
|
37:37 |
Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright; For the man of peace will have a posterity.
|
37:38 |
But transgressors will be altogether destroyed; The posterity of the wicked will be cut off.
|
37:39 |
But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength 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.
