| Psalms 37: (ASV) |
| 1) Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness. |
| 2) For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. |
| 3) Trust in Jehovah, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness. |
| 4) Delight thyself also in Jehovah; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart. |
| 5) Commit thy way unto Jehovah; Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass. |
| 6) And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, And thy justice as the noonday. |
| 7) Rest in Jehovah, 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. |
| 8) Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing. |
| 9) For evil-doers shall be cut off; But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land. |
| 10) For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be. |
| 11) But the meek shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. |
| 12) The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth. |
| 13) The Lord will laugh at him; For he seeth 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 slay such as are upright in the way. |
| 15) Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken. |
| 16) Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked. |
| 17) For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous. |
| 18) Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; And their inheritance shall be for ever. |
| 19) They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. |
| 20) But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away. |
| 21) The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth. |
| 22) For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land; And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off. |
| 23) A man's goings are established of Jehovah; And he delighteth in his way. |
| 24) Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand. |
| 25) I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread. |
| 26) All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; And his seed is blessed. |
| 27) Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore. |
| 28) For Jehovah loveth justice, And forsaketh not his saints; They are preserved for ever: But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. |
| 29) The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell therein for ever. |
| 30) The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, And his tongue speaketh justice. |
| 31) The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide. |
| 32) The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him. |
| 33) Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged. |
| 34) Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. |
| 35) I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil. |
| 36) But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. |
| 37) Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; For there is a happy end to the man of peace. |
| 38) As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together: The end of the wicked shall be cut off. |
| 39) But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: He is their stronghold in the time of trouble. |
| 40) And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them: He rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, Because they have taken refuge in him. |
