37:1  A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
37:2  For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
37:3  Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and follow after faithfulness.
37:4  Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
37:5  Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.
37:6  Add he shall make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
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.
37:8  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.
37:9  For evil-doers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
37:10  For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
37:11  But the meek shall inherit the land; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
37:12  The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
37:13  The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
37:14  The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as be upright in the way:
37:15  Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
37:16  Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
37:17  For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
37:18  The LORD knoweth the days of the perfect: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
37:19  They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
37:20  But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the excellency of the pastures: they shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away.
37:21  The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
37:22  For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the land; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
37:23  A man's goings are established of the LORD; and he delighteth in his way.
37:24  Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
37:25  I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging their bread.
37:26  All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
37:27  Depart from evil, and do good; dwell for evermore.
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.
37:29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
37:30  The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment.
37:31  The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
37:32  The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
37:33  The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
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.
37:35  I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
37:36  But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37:37  Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the latter end of that man is peace.
37:38  As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together: the latter end of the wicked shall be cut off.
37:39  But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strong hold in the time of trouble.
37:40  And the LORD helpeth them, and rescueth them: he rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in him.
