Psalms 37:1-38

37:1

<
<[A Psalm] of David <01732>.>>

Fret
<02734> (8691)

not thyself because of evildoers
<07489> (8688)_,

neither be thou envious
<07065> (8762)

against the workers
<06213> (8802)

of iniquity
<05766>_.

37:2

For they shall soon
<04120>

be cut down
<05243> (8799)

like the grass
<02682>_,

and wither
<05034> (8799)

as the green
<03418>

herb
<01877>_.

37:3

Trust
<0982> (8798)

in the LORD
<03068>_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

good
<02896>_;

[so] shalt thou dwell
<07931> (8798)

in the land
<0776>_,

and verily
<0530>

thou shalt be fed
<07462> (8798)_.

{verily: Heb. in truth, or, stableness}

37:4

Delight
<06026> (8690)

thyself also in the LORD
<03068>_;

and he shall give
<05414> (8799)

thee the desires
<04862>

of thine heart
<03820>_.

37:5

Commit
<01556> (8798)

thy way
<01870>

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

trust
<0982> (8798)

also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass
<06213> (8799)_.

{Commit...: Heb. Roll thy way upon}

37:6

And he shall bring forth
<03318> (8689)

thy righteousness
<06664>

as the light
<0216>_,

and thy judgment
<04941>

as the noonday
<06672>_.

37:7

Rest
<01826> (8798)

in the LORD
<03068>_,

and wait patiently
<02342> (8708)

for him: fret
<02734> (8691)

not thyself because of him who prospereth
<06743> (8688)

in his way
<01870>_,

because of the man
<0376>

who bringeth
<06213> (0)

wicked devices
<04209>

to pass
<06213> (8802)_.

{Rest in: Heb. Be silent to}

37:8

Cease
<07503> (8685)

from anger
<0639>_,

and forsake
<05800> (8798)

wrath
<02534>_:

fret
<02734> (8691)

not thyself in any wise
<0389>

to do evil
<07489> (8687)_.

37:9

For evildoers
<07489> (8688)

shall be cut off
<03772> (8735)_:

but those that wait
<06960> (8802)

upon the LORD
<03068>_,

they shall inherit
<03423> (8799)

the earth
<0776>_.

37:10

For yet a little while
<04592>_,

and the wicked
<07563>

[shall] not [be]: yea, thou shalt diligently consider
<0995> (8712)

his place
<04725>_,

and it [shall] not [be].

37:11

But the meek
<06035>

shall inherit
<03423> (8799)

the earth
<0776>_;

and shall delight
<06026> (8694)

themselves in the abundance
<07230>

of peace
<07965>_.

37:12

The wicked
<07563>

plotteth
<02161> (8802)

against the just
<06662>_,

and gnasheth
<02786> (8802)

upon him with his teeth
<08127>_.

{plotteth: or, practiseth}

37:13

The Lord
<0136>

shall laugh
<07832> (8799)

at him: for he seeth
<07200> (8804)

that his day
<03117>

is coming
<0935> (8799)_.

37:14

The wicked
<07563>

have drawn out
<06605> (8804)

the sword
<02719>_,

and have bent
<01869> (8804)

their bow
<07198>_,

to cast down
<05307> (8687)

the poor
<06041>

and needy
<034>_,

[and] to slay
<02873> (8800)

such as be of upright
<03477>

conversation
<01870>_.

{such...: Heb. the upright of way}

37:15

Their sword
<02719>

shall enter
<0935> (8799)

into their own heart
<03820>_,

and their bows
<07198>

shall be broken
<07665> (8735)_.

37:16

A little
<04592>

that a righteous man
<06662>

hath [is] better
<02896>

than the riches
<01995>

of many
<07227>

wicked
<07563>_.

37:17

For the arms
<02220>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be broken
<07665> (8735)_:

but the LORD
<03068>

upholdeth
<05564> (8802)

the righteous
<06662>_.

37:18

The LORD
<03068>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

the days
<03117>

of the upright
<08549>_:

and their inheritance
<05159>

shall be for ever
<05769>_.

37:19

They shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

in the evil
<07451>

time
<06256>_:

and in the days
<03117>

of famine
<07459>

they shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_.

37:20

But the wicked
<07563>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_,

and the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of the LORD
<03068>

[shall be] as the fat
<03368>

of lambs
<03733>_:

they shall consume
<03615> (8804)_;

into smoke
<06227>

shall they consume away
<03615> (8804)_.

{the fat: Heb. the preciousness}

37:21

The wicked
<07563>

borroweth
<03867> (8801)_,

and payeth not again
<07999> (8762)_:

but the righteous
<06662>

sheweth mercy
<02603> (8802)_,

and giveth
<05414> (8802)_.

37:22

For [such as be] blessed
<01288> (8794)

of him shall inherit
<03423> (8799)

the earth
<0776>_;

and [they that be] cursed
<07043> (8794)

of him shall be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.

37:23

The steps
<04703>

of a [good] man
<01397>

are ordered
<03559> (8797)

by the LORD
<03068>_:

and he delighteth
<02654> (8799)

in his way
<01870>_.

{ordered: or, established}

37:24

Though he fall
<05307> (8799)_,

he shall not be utterly cast down
<02904> (8714)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

upholdeth
<05564> (8802)

[him with] his hand
<03027>_.

37:25

I have been young
<05288>_,

and [now] am old
<02204> (8804)_;

yet have I not seen
<07200> (8804)

the righteous
<06662>

forsaken
<05800> (8737)_,

nor his seed
<02233>

begging
<01245> (8764)

bread
<03899>_.

37:26

[He is] ever
<03117>

merciful
<02603> (8802)_,

and lendeth
<03867> (8688)_;

and his seed
<02233>

[is] blessed
<01293>_.

{ever: Heb. all the day}

37:27

Depart
<05493> (8798)

from evil
<07451>_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

good
<02896>_;

and dwell
<07931> (8798)

for evermore
<05769>_.

37:28

For the LORD
<03068>

loveth
<0157> (8802)

judgment
<04941>_,

and forsaketh
<05800> (8799)

not his saints
<02623>_;

they are preserved
<08104> (8738)

for ever
<05769>_:

but the seed
<02233>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)_.

37:29

The righteous
<06662>

shall inherit
<03423> (8799)

the land
<0776>_,

and dwell
<07931> (8799)

therein for ever
<05703>_.

37:30

The mouth
<06310>

of the righteous
<06662>

speaketh
<01897> (8799)

wisdom
<02451>_,

and his tongue
<03956>

talketh
<01696> (8762)

of judgment
<04941>_.

37:31

The law
<08451>

of his God
<0430>

[is] in his heart
<03820>_;

none of his steps
<0838>

shall slide
<04571> (8799)_.

{steps: or, goings}

37:32

The wicked
<07563>

watcheth
<06822> (8802)

the righteous
<06662>_,

and seeketh
<01245> (8764)

to slay
<04191> (8687)

him.

37:33

The LORD
<03068>

will not leave
<05800> (8799)

him in his hand
<03027>_,

nor condemn
<07561> (8686)

him when he is judged
<08199> (8736)_.

37:34

Wait
<06960> (8761)

on the LORD
<03068>_,

and keep
<08104> (8798)

his way
<01870>_,

and he shall exalt
<07311> (8787)

thee to inherit
<03423> (8800)

the land
<0776>_:

when the wicked
<07563>

are cut off
<03772> (8736)_,

thou shalt see
<07200> (8799)

[it].

37:35

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

the wicked
<07563>

in great power
<06184>_,

and spreading
<06168> (8693)

himself like a green
<07488>

bay tree
<0249>_.

{a green...: or, a green tree that groweth in his own soil}

37:36

Yet he passed away
<05674> (8799)_,

and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I sought
<01245> (8762)

him, but he could not be found
<04672> (8738)_.

37:37

Mark
<08104> (8798)

the perfect
<08535>

[man], and behold
<07200> (8798)

the upright
<03477>_:

for the end
<0319>

of [that] man
<0376>

[is] peace
<07965>_.

37:38

But the transgressors
<06586> (8802)

shall be destroyed
<08045> (8738)

together
<03162>_:

the end
<0319>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)_.
