MKJV - Psalms - 37

37:1  A Psalm of David. Do not fret yourself with evil doers; and do not be envious against the workers of iniquity.

37:2  For they shall soon wither like the grass; and fade as the green herb.

37:3  Trust in the LORD, and do good; you shall dwell in the land, and you shall be fed on truth.

37:4  Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.

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

37:6  And He shall bring forth your righteousness like the light, and your judgment like the noonday.

37:7  Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of him who practices wickedness.

37:8  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret yourself to do evil.

37:9  For evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

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

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

37:12  The wicked plots against the just, 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 have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who walk uprightly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

37:21  The wicked borrows, and never pays again; but the righteous shows mercy, and gives.

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

37:23  The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD; and He delights in his way.

37:24  Though he fall, he shall not be cast down; for the LORD 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 deals graciously, and lends; and his seed is blessed.

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

37:28  For the LORD loves judgment and does not forsake His saints; they are kept 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 the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of judgment.

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

37:32  The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to kill him.

37:33  The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor allow him to be found guilty when he is judged.

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

37:35  I have seen the wicked ruthless, and spreading himself 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 sinners are destroyed together; the end of the wicked is cut off.

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

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