Psalm 37, the heritage of the righteous and the calamity of the wicked, a psalm of David. Do not fret because of evil-doers, nor be emptiest of the workers of iniquity, but they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good, dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness. Trust in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the life, and your justice as the new day. Rest in the Lord and await patiently for Him. Do not fret because of Him who prosperous in His way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Thanks from anger and forsake wrath. Do not fret, it only costs his heart. For evil-doers shall be cut off, but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. But yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more. Indeed, you will look carefully for His place, but it shall be no more. But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plots against the juss, and gnashes at Him with His teeth. The Lord laughs at Him, but He sees that His day is coming. The wicked have drawn the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to slay those who are of upright conduct. Their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bow shall be broken. A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous. The Lord knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever. 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, like the splendour of the metals, shall vanish. Into smoke they shall vanish away. The wicked borrows and does not repay, but the righteous shows mercy and gifts. For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth, but those cursed by Him shall be cut off. The stuff of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in His way. Though He fall, He shall not be utterly cast down. For the Lord upholds Him with His hand. I have been young, and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken. Nor His descendants beg in bread. He is ever merciful and lends, and His descendants are blessed. The part from evil, and do good, and dwell forever more. For the Lord loves justice, and does not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever, but the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever. The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and His tongue talks of justice. The Lord of God is in His heart. None of His steps shall slide. The wicked watches the righteous and seeks 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 you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, we shall see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading Himself like a native green tree. Yet He passed away, and behold, He was no more. Indeed, I sought Him, but He could not be found. Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright. For the future of that man is peace, but the transgressors shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off, but the salvation of the righteous is from 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 Him.
