Psalm 37
A Psalm of David.
Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
And wither as the green herb.
Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness.
And he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.
And thy justice as the noonday.
Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,
Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.
But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.
Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
And gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
For he seeth that his day is coming.
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay such as are upright in the way.
And their bows shall be broken.
Than the abundance of many wicked.
But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
And their inheritance shall be for ever.
And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs:
They shall consume; In smoke shall they consume away.
But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
And he delighteth in his way.
For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.
Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his seed begging bread.
And his seed is blessed.
And dwell for evermore.
And forsaketh not his saints;
They are preserved for ever:
But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
And dwell therein for ever.
And his tongue speaketh justice.
None of his steps shall slide.
And seeketh to slay him.
Nor condemn him when he is judged.
And he will exalt thee to inherit the land:
When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
For there is a happy end to the man of peace.
The end of the wicked shall be cut off.
He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
He rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them,
Because they have taken refuge in him.
