< תהילים 37 >
לדוד אל תתחר במרעים אל תקנא בעשי עולה׃ | 1 |
Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be you envious against the workers of iniquity.
כי כחציר מהרה ימלו וכירק דשא יבולון׃ | 2 |
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.
דום ליהוה והתחולל לו אל תתחר במצליח דרכו באיש עשה מזמות׃ | 7 |
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
הרף מאף ועזב חמה אל תתחר אך להרע׃ | 8 |
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any wise to do evil.
כי מרעים יכרתון וקוי יהוה המה יירשו ארץ׃ | 9 |
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait on the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
ועוד מעט ואין רשע והתבוננת על מקומו ואיננו׃ | 10 |
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yes, you shall diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
וענוים יירשו ארץ והתענגו על רב שלום׃ | 11 |
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
זמם רשע לצדיק וחרק עליו שניו׃ | 12 |
The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes on him with his teeth.
אדני ישחק לו כי ראה כי יבא יומו׃ | 13 |
The LORD shall laugh at him: for he sees that his day is coming.
חרב פתחו רשעים ודרכו קשתם להפיל עני ואביון לטבוח ישרי דרך׃ | 14 |
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.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholds the righteous.
יודע יהוה ימי תמימם ונחלתם לעולם תהיה׃ | 18 |
The LORD knows the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
לא יבשו בעת רעה ובימי רעבון ישבעו׃ | 19 |
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
כי רשעים יאבדו ואיבי יהוה כיקר כרים כלו בעשן כלו׃ | 20 |
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.
לוה רשע ולא ישלם וצדיק חונן ונותן׃ | 21 |
The wicked borrows, and pays not again: but the righteous shows mercy, and gives.
כי מברכיו יירשו ארץ ומקלליו יכרתו׃ | 22 |

נער הייתי גם זקנתי ולא ראיתי צדיק נעזב וזרעו מבקש לחם׃ | 25 |
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
כל היום חונן ומלוה וזרעו לברכה׃ | 26 |
He is ever merciful, and lends; and his seed is blessed.
סור מרע ועשה טוב ושכן לעולם׃ | 27 |
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever more.
כי יהוה אהב משפט ולא יעזב את חסידיו לעולם נשמרו וזרע רשעים נכרת׃ | 28 |

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
ויעבר והנה איננו ואבקשהו ולא נמצא׃ | 36 |
