Psalms 37
1 Of David - may not you fret yourself in the evil-doers may not you be jealous of [those who] do unrighteousness.
Of David. Be not kindled to wrath at the wicked, nor envious of those who work wrong;
2 For like grass quickly they will wither and like [the] greenery of vegetation they will fade!
for, like grass, they will speedily wither, and fade like the green of young grass.
3 Trust in Yahweh and do good dwell [the] land and graze faithfulness.
Trust in the Lord, and do good; remain in the land, and deal faithfully:
4 And take delight on Yahweh so he may give to you [the] requests of heart your.
then the Lord will be your delight, he will grant you your heart’s petitions.
5 Roll on Yahweh way your and rely on him and he he will act.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act,
6 And he will bring forth like the light righteousness your and justice your like the noontide.
making clear as the light your right, and your just cause clear as the noon-day.
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.
In silence and patience wait on the Lord. Be not kindled to anger at those who prosper. At those who execute evil devices.
8 Refrain from anger and forsake rage may not you fret yourself only to do evil.
Desist from anger, abandon wrath: be not kindled to anger it leads but to evil:
9 For evil-doers they will be cut off! and [those who] wait for Yahweh they they will possess [the] land.
for evildoers will be cut off, but the land will be theirs, who wait on the Lord.
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.
Yet but a little, and the wicked vanish: look at their place: they are there no more.
11 And humble [people] they will possess [the] land and they will take delight on abundance of well-being.
But the humble will have the land, and the rapture of peace in abundance.
12 [is] plotting [the] wicked To the righteous and [is] gnashing towards him teeth his.
The wicked plots against the righteous, snarls like a wild animal;
13 [the] Lord He laughs to him for he sees that it will come day his.
the Lord laughs, for he sees 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 the sword, and bent the bow, to fell the poor, to slay those who walk uprightly;
15 Sword their it will go in own heart their and bows their they will be broken.
but their sword will pierce their own heart, and their bows will be broken in pieces.
16 [is] good [the] little Of the righteous more than [the] wealth of wicked [people] many.
Better is the righteous person’s little than the wealth 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 will be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.
18 [is] knowing Yahweh [the] days of blameless [people] and inheritance their for ever it will be.
The Lord watches over the days of the blameless, their heritage will continue forever.
19 Not they will be ashamed in a time evil and in days of famine they will be satisfied.
They will not be shamed in the evil time, in the days of famine they will 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.
Because the wicked will perish: but the foes of the Lord, like a brand in the oven, will vanish, like smoke they will vanish.
21 [is] borrowing [the] wicked And not he repays and [the] righteous [is] showing favor and giving.
The wicked must borrow and cannot pay back, but the righteous is lavish and gives.
22 For blessed [ones] his they will possess [the] land and cursed [ones] his they will be cut off.
For those blest by the Lord inherit the land, while those whom he curses will be cut off.
23 From Yahweh [the] steps of a man they are established and way his he delights in.
The Lord supports the steps of those with whom he is pleased.
24 For he will fall not he will be thrown down for Yahweh [is] supporting hand his.
Though they fall, they will not be cast headlong, for the Lord holds their hands.
25 A young man - I have been also I am old and not I have seen [the] righteous forsaken and offspring his seeking food.
Never, from youth to age, have I seen the righteous forsaken, or their children begging bread.
26 All the day [he is] showing favor and [he is] lending and offspring his [become] a blessing.
They are ever lavishly lending, and their children are fountains of blessing.
27 Turn away from evil and do good and dwell for ever.
Turn away from evil and do good and you will live in the land forever.
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 loves justice, he does not forsake his friends. The unrighteous will be destroyed forever, and the seed of the wicked will be cut off.
29 Righteous [people] they will possess [the] land so they may dwell for ever on it.
But the land will belong to the righteous, they will live upon it forever,
30 [the] mouth of [the] righteous It utters wisdom and tongue his it speaks justice.
The mouth of the righteous murmurs wisdom, and words of justice are on their tongues.
31 [the] law of God his [is] in heart his not it slips steps his.
The law of their God is in their heart, their steps are never unsteady.
32 [is] watching A wicked [person] for righteous [person] and [is] seeking to kill him.
The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to put them to death.
33 Yahweh not he will abandon him in hand his and not he will condemn as guilty him when is judged he.
But the Lord leaves them not in their hand: at their trial they will not be held guilty.
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 observe his way: he will lift you to honour the land will be yours, you will feast your eyes on the doom of the wicked.
35 I have seen a wicked [person] ruthless and spreading himself like a native tree luxuriant.
I have seen the wicked exultant, lifting themselves like a cedar of Lebanon.
36 And he passed away and there! there not [was] he and I sought him and not he was found.
But the moment I passed, they vanished! I sought for them, but they could not be found.
37 Watch [the] blameless and see [the] upright for a future [belongs] to a person of peace.
Preserve your honour and practise uprightness, for such a person fares well in the end.
38 And transgressors they will be destroyed altogether [the] future of wicked [people] it will be cut off.
But transgressors will perish together. Cut off are the wicked forever.
39 And [the] salvation of righteous [people] [is] from Yahweh place of refuge their in a time of trouble.
The righteous are saved by the Lord, who in time of distress is their refuge:
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.
the Lord helps and rescue them, from the wicked he rescues and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
