Chapter 37 | |
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. | |
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. | |
Trust in the LORD, and do good;
so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. | |
Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. | |
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. | |
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. | |
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. | |
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. | |
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. | |
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. | |
But the meek
shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. | |
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. | |
The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. | |
| | 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 a conversation. |
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. | |
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. | |
| | For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. |
| | The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. |
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. | |
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. | |
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. | |
| | For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. |
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. | |
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. | |
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. | |
| | He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. |
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. | |
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. | |
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. | |
| | The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. |
| | The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. |
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. | |
| | The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. |
Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. | |
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. | |
Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. | |
| | Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. |
But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. | |
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. | |
And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. |
