Psalms 37

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

FRET not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

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

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

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

Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

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

Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

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

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

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

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

7 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.

Rest in the Lord, 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 Refrain from anger and forsake rage may not you fret yourself only to do evil.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

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

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

10 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.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

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

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

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

The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

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

The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

14 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.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

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

Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

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

A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

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

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.

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

The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

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

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 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.

But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

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

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

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

For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

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

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

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

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

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

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

He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

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

Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

28 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.

For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

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

The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

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

The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

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

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

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

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

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

The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

34 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.

Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

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

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

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

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

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

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

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

But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

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

But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

40 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.

And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
