Psalms 37

1[ of David.] Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be you envious against the workers of iniquity. 2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3Trust in the Yahuah, and do good; shall you dwell in the land, and verily you shall be fed. 4Delight thyself also in the Yahuah; and he shall give you the desires of your heart. 5Commit your way unto the Yahuah; trust also in him; and he shall bring to pass. 6And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday. 7Rest in the Yahuah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 9For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Yahuah, they shall inherit the earth. 10For yet a little while, and the wicked not : yes, you shall diligently consider his place, and it not . 11But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 12The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 13The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. 14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as be of upright conversation. 15Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. 16A little that a righteous man has better than the riches of many wicked. 17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Yahuah upholdeth the righteous. 18The Yahuah knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 19They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 20But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Yahuah as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. 21The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. 22For blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and cursed of him shall be cut off. 23The steps of a man are ordered by the Yahuah: and he delighteth in his way. 24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Yahuah upholdeth his hand. 25I have been young, and am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 26ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed blessed. 27Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. 28For the Yahuah loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. 29The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. 30The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 31The law of his Elohim in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. 32The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. 33The Yahuah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 34Wait on the Yahuah, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, you shall see . 35I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. 36Yet he passed away, and, lo, he not: yes, I sought him, but he could not be found. 37Mark the perfect , and behold the upright: for the end of man peace. 38But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. 39But the salvation of the righteous of the Yahuah: their strength in the time of trouble. 40And the Yahuah shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
