LITV - Psalms - 37

37:1  A Psalm of David. Do not inflame yourself with evildoers; and do not be envious against workers of perversity;

37:2  for they soon wither like grass and fade like the green herb.

37:3  Trust in Jehovah and do good; live in the land and feed on faithfulness.

37:4  And delight yourself in Jehovah, that He may give you your heart's desire.

37:5  Roll your way on Jehovah, and trust in Him; and He will work.

37:6  And He will bring forth your righteousness like the light; and your judgment like the noon day.

37:7  Rest in Jehovah and wait patiently for Him; inflame not yourself with him who prospers in his way, with the man practicing evil wiles.

37:8  Abstain from anger and cease from fury; also do not inflame yourself to do evil.

37:9  For evildoers shall be cut off; and the ones waiting on Jehovah, they shall inherit the earth.

37:10  It is but a little, and the wicked shall not be; yes, you shall search his place, and he is not.

37:11  But the meek shall inherit the earth, and they shall delight themselves in abundant peace.

37:12  The wicked plots against the righteous, and gnashes on him with his teeth;

37:13  the Lord laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming.

37:14  The wicked have drawn out the sword and they have trodden their bow, to cause the poor and needy to fall; to kill those who walk uprightly.

37:15  Their sword shall enter into their heart, and their bows shall be broken.

37:16  A little to the righteous is better than the abundance of many wicked.

37:17  For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but Jehovah upholds the righteous.

37:18  Jehovah knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever.

37:19  They shall not be ashamed in an evil time; and they shall be full in days of famine.

37:20  But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be like the beauty of pastures; they are consumed like smoke; they are consumed.

37:21  The wicked borrows and never repays, but the righteous is gracious and giving.

37:22  For His blessed ones inherit the earth, and those cursed by Him shall be cut off.

37:23  The steps of a man are ordered from Jehovah, and He will delight in his way.

37:24  Though he falls, he is not cast down; for Jehovah upholds his hand.

37:25  I have been young and am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, or his seed begging bread.

37:26  All the day long he is gracious and lends, and his seed is for a blessing.

37:27  Depart from evil and do good, and live forevermore.

37:28  For Jehovah loves judgment and does not forsake His saints; they are preserved forever; but the wicked's seed shall be cut off.

37:29  The righteous shall inherit the earth and live on it forever.

37:30  The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue speaks judgment.

37:31  The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slide.

37:32  The wicked spies on the righteous and seeks to kill him.

37:33  Jehovah does not leave him in his hand, nor allow him to be found guilty in his judgment.

37:34  Wait on Jehovah and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the earth; you shall see when the wicked are cut off.

37:35  I have seen the wicked ruthless, even spreading himself out like a luxuriant, native tree ;

37:36  yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not; and I looked for him, but he could not be found.

37:37  Watch the perfect and behold the upright one; for the end of that man is peace.

37:38  But the transgressors are destroyed together; the end of the wicked is cut off.

37:39  But the salvation of the righteous is from Jehovah; He is their strength in the time of distress.

37:40  And Jehovah helps them and delivers them; He shall deliver them from the wicked and save them, because they trust in Him.
