Psalms 37

1 Of David. Do not be angry because of the wrongdoers, or have envy of the workers of evil.

Of David - may not you fret yourself in the evil-doers may not you be jealous of [those who] do unrighteousness.

2 For they will quickly be cut down like grass, and become dry like the green plants.

For like grass quickly they will wither and like [the] greenery of vegetation they will fade!

3 Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.

Trust in Yahweh and do good dwell [the] land and graze faithfulness.

4 So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.

And take delight on Yahweh so he may give to you [the] requests of heart your.

5 Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.

Roll on Yahweh way your and rely on him and he he will act.

6 And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.

And he will bring forth like the light righteousness your and justice your like the noontide.

7 Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.

Be still - to Yahweh and wait longingly for him may not you fret yourself in [one who] makes prosperous way his in a person [who] makes plots.

8 Put an end to your wrath and be no longer bitter; do not give way to angry feeling which is a cause of sin.

Refrain from anger and forsake rage may not you fret yourself only to do evil.

9 For the evil-doers will be cut off: but those who have faith in the Lord will have the earth for their heritage.

For evil-doers they will be cut off! and [those who] wait for Yahweh they they will possess [the] land.

10 For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.

And yet a little and there not [will be the] wicked and you will look carefully on place his and there not [will be] he.

11 But the gentle will have the earth for their heritage; they will take their delight in peace without measure.

And humble [people] they will possess [the] land and they will take delight on abundance of well-being.

12 The sinner has evil designs against the upright, lifting up the voice of wrath against him.

[is] plotting [the] wicked To the righteous and [is] gnashing towards him teeth his.

13 He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.

[the] Lord He laughs to him for he sees that it will come day his.

14 The evil-doers have taken out their swords, their bows are bent; for crushing the poor, and to put to death those who are upright in their ways.

A sword - they have drawn wicked [people] and they have bent bow their to make fall [the] poor and [the] needy to slaughter [people] upright of way.

15 But their swords will be turned into their hearts, and their bows will be broken.

Sword their it will go in own heart their and bows their they will be broken.

16 The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.

[is] good [the] little Of the righteous more than [the] wealth of wicked [people] many.

17 For the arms of the evil-doers will be broken: but the Lord is the support of the good.

For [the] arms of wicked [people] they will be broken and [is] sustaining righteous [people] Yahweh.

18 The days of the upright are numbered by the Lord, and their heritage will be for ever.

[is] knowing Yahweh [the] days of blameless [people] and inheritance their for ever it will be.

19 They will not be shamed in the evil time, and in the days when all are in need of food they will have enough.

Not they will be ashamed in a time evil and in days of famine they will be satisfied.

20 But the wrongdoers will come to destruction, and the haters of the Lord will be like the fat of lambs, they will be burned up; they will go up in smoke, and never again be seen.

For wicked [people] - they will perish and [the] enemies of Yahweh [will be] like a splendid [thing] of pastures they will come to an end in smoke they will come to an end.

21 The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.

[is] borrowing [the] wicked And not he repays and [the] righteous [is] showing favor and giving.

22 Those who have his blessing will have the earth for their heritage; but those who are cursed by him will be cut off.

For blessed [ones] his they will possess [the] land and cursed [ones] his they will be cut off.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way.

From Yahweh [the] steps of a man they are established and way his he delights in.

24 Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.

For he will fall not he will be thrown down for Yahweh [is] supporting hand his.

25 I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.

A young man - I have been also I am old and not I have seen [the] righteous forsaken and offspring his seeking food.

26 All the day he is ready to have mercy and to give; his children are a blessing.

All the day [he is] showing favor and [he is] lending and offspring his [become] a blessing.

27 Be turned from evil, and do good; and your place will be for ever.

Turn away from evil and do good and dwell for ever.

28 For the Lord is a lover of righteousness, and takes care of his saints; they will be kept safe for ever; but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off.

For Yahweh - [is] loving justice and not he will abandon faithful [people] his for ever they are preserved and [the] offspring of wicked [people] it is cut off.

29 The upright will have the earth for their heritage, and will go on living there for ever.

Righteous [people] they will possess [the] land so they may dwell for ever on it.

30 The mouth of the good man says words of wisdom; the talk of his tongue is of righteousness.

[the] mouth of [the] righteous It utters wisdom and tongue his it speaks justice.

31 The law of his God is in his heart; he will never make a false step.

[the] law of God his [is] in heart his not it slips steps his.

32 The sinners are watching the upright man, desiring to put him to death.

[is] watching A wicked [person] for righteous [person] and [is] seeking to kill him.

33 The Lord will not give him into their hands, or be against him when he is judged.

Yahweh not he will abandon him in hand his and not he will condemn as guilty him when is judged he.

34 Be waiting for the Lord, and keep his way; and you will be lifted up, and have the land for your heritage: when the evil-doers are cut off, you will see it.

Wait to Yahweh - and keep way his and he will exalt you to possess [the] land when are cut off wicked [people] you will see.

35 I have seen the evil-doer in great power, covering the earth like a great tree.

I have seen a wicked [person] ruthless and spreading himself like a native tree luxuriant.

36 But he came to an end, and there was no sign of him; I made a search for him and he was not there.

And he passed away and there! there not [was] he and I sought him and not he was found.

37 Give attention to the good man, and take note of the upright; because the end of that man is peace.

Watch [the] blameless and see [the] upright for a future [belongs] to a person of peace.

38 But as for the sinners, they will be cut off together; the end of the wrongdoers is destruction.

And transgressors they will be destroyed altogether [the] future of wicked [people] it will be cut off.

39 But the Lord is the saviour of the upright: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

And [the] salvation of righteous [people] [is] from Yahweh place of refuge their in a time of trouble.

40 And the Lord will be their help, and keep them safe: he will take them out of the hands of the evil-doers, and be their saviour, because they had faith in him.

And he helped them Yahweh and he delivered them he delivers them from wicked [people] and he saves them for they have taken refuge in him.
