Chapter 37

1


 

  By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,  

 

 

--

2


 

  For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,  

 

 

--

4


 

  And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh,  

 

 

--

6


 

  And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil.  

 

 

--

9


 

  For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.  

 

 

--

10


 

  And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.  

 

 

--

11


 

  And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.  

 

 

--

12


 

  The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.  

 

 

--

13


 

  The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.  

 

 

--

14


 

  A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.  

 

 

--

17


 

  For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.  

 

 

--

18


 

  Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is -- to the age.  

 

 

--

19


 

  They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.  

 

 

--

20


 

  But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.  

 

 

--

21


 

  The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.  

 

 

--

22


 

  For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.  

 

 

--

23


 

  From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.  

 

 

--

24


 

  When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand.  

 

 

--

25


 

  Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.  

 

 

--

26


 

  All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.  

 

 

--

27


 

  Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age.  

 

 

--

28


 

  For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.  

 

 

--

29


 

  The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.  

 

 

--

30


 

  The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.  

 

 

--

31


 

  The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.  

 

 

--

32


 

  The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.  

 

 

--

33


 

  Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.  

 

 

--

34


 

  Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off -- thou seest!  

 

 

--

35


 

  I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,  

 

 

--

36


 

  And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!  

 

 

--

37


 

  Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.  

 

 

--

38


 

  And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.  

 

 

--

39


 

  And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity.  

 

 

--

40


 

  And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!
