ACV - Psalms - 37

37:1  Fret not thyself because of evildoers, nor be thou envious against those who work unrighteousness.

37:2  For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

37:3  Trust in Jehovah, and do good. Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness.

37:4  Delight thyself also in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.

37:5  Commit thy way to Jehovah. Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.

37:6  And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy justice as the noon-day.

37:7  Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him. Fret not thyself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.

37:8  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Fret not thyself, it tends only to evil-doing.

37:9  For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.

37:10  For yet a little while, and the wicked man shall not be. Yea, thou shall diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.

37:11  But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

37:12  The wicked man plots against the righteous man, and gnashes upon him with his teeth.

37:13  The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.

37:14  The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill such as are upright in the way.

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

37:16  Better is a little that the righteous man has than the abundance of many wicked men.

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

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

37:19  They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

37:20  But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah is as the fat of lambs: they shall disintegrate; they shall disintegrate away into smoke.

37:21  The wicked man borrows, and pays not again, but the righteous man deals graciously, and gives.

37:22  For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land, and those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.

37:23  A man's goings are established by Jehovah, and he delights in his way.

37:24  Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholds him with his hand.

37:25  I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen a righteous man forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

37:26  All the day long he deals graciously, and lends, and his seed is blessed.

37:27  Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore.

37:28  For Jehovah loves justice, and forsakes not his sanctified. They are preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

37:29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever.

37:30  The mouth of a righteous man talks of wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.

37:31  The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

37:32  A wicked man watches a righteous man, and seeks to kill him.

37:33  Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

37:34  Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land. When sinners are cut off, thou shall see it.

37:35  I have seen a wicked man in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

37:36  But I passed by, and, lo, he was not. Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37:37  Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for there is a happy end to the man of peace.

37:38  As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The end of the wicked shall be cut off.

37:39  But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble,

37:40  and Jehovah helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from sinners, and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
