YLT - Psalms - 37

37:1  By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,

37:2  For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.

37:3  Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell in the land, and enjoy faithfulness,

37:4  And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart.

37:5  Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh,

37:6  And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day.

37:7  Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.

37:8  Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil.

37:9  For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.

37:10  And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.

37:11  And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.

37:12  The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.

37:13  The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.

37:14  A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.

37:15  Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.

37:16  Better is the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.

37:17  For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.

37:18  Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is--to the age.

37:19  They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.

37:20  But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.

37:21  The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.

37:22  For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.

37:23  From Jehovah are the steps of a man, They have been prepared, And his way he desireth.

37:24  When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is sustaining his hand.

37:25  Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.

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

37:27  Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age.

37:28  For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

37:29  The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.

37:30  The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.

37:31  The law of his God is his heart, His steps do not slide.

37:32  The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.

37:33  Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.

37:34  Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off--thou seest!

37:35  I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,

37:36  And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!

37:37  Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each is peace.

37:38  And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.

37:39  And the salvation of the righteous is from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity.

37:40  And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!
