(Psa 37:1) Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
(Psa 37:2) For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
(Psa 37:3) Trust in the Lord, and do good; {so} shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
(Psa 37:4) Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
(Psa 37:5) Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring {it} to pass.
(Psa 37:6) And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
(Psa 37:7) 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.
(Psa 37:8) Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
(Psa 37:9) For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
(Psa 37:10) For yet a little while, and the wicked {shall} not {be}: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it {shall} not {be}.
(Psa 37:11) But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
(Psa 37:12) The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
(Psa 37:13) The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
(Psa 37:14) 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 conversation.
(Psa 37:15) Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
(Psa 37:16) A little that a righteous man hath {is} better than the riches of many wicked.
(Psa 37:17) For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
(Psa 37:18) The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
(Psa 37:19) They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
(Psa 37:20) 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.
(Psa 37:21) The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
(Psa 37:22) For {such as be} blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and {they that be} cursed of him shall be cut off.
(Psa 37:23) The steps of a {good} man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
(Psa 37:24) Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth {him with} his hand.
(Psa 37:25) I have been young, and {now} am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
(Psa 37:26) {He is} ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed {is} blessed.
(Psa 37:27) Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
(Psa 37:28) 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.
(Psa 37:29) The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
(Psa 37:30) The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
(Psa 37:31) The law of his God {is} in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
(Psa 37:32) The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
(Psa 37:33) The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
(Psa 37:34) 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}.
(Psa 37:35) I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
(Psa 37:36) Yet he passed away, and, lo, he {was} not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
(Psa 37:37) Mark the perfect {man}, and behold the upright: for the end of {that} man {is} peace.
(Psa 37:38) But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
(Psa 37:39) But the salvation of the righteous {is} of the Lord: {he is} their strength in the time of trouble.
(Psa 37:40) And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
