UKJV - Psalms - 37

37:1  Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be you envious against the workers of iniquity.

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

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

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

37:5  Commit your way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

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

37:7  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.

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

37:9  For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

37:10  For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, you shall diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

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

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

37:13  The LORD shall 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, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

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

37:16  A little that a righteous man has 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 for ever.

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 perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

37:21  The wicked borrows, and pays not again: but the righteous shows mercy, and gives.

37:22  For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of 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 utterly cast down: for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

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

37:26  He is ever merciful, and lends; and his seed is blessed.

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

37:28  For the LORD loves judgment, and forsakes not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

37:29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

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 slay him.

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

37:34  Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

37:35  I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

37:36  Yet he passed away, 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 the end of that man is peace.

37:38  But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

37:39  But the salvation of the righteous is of 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.
