| 37:1
| Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against
the workers of iniquity.
|
| 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; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and
verily thou shalt be fed.
|
| 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
| And he shall bring forth thy righteousness 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 in any wise to do
evil.
|
| 37:9
| For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they
shall inherit the earth.
|
| 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.
|
| 37:11
| But the meek shall inherit the earth; 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, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
|
| 37:15
| Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be
broken.
|
| 37:16
| A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches 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 upright: and their inheritance shall be
for ever.
|
| 37:19
| They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: 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
fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
|
| 37:21
| The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth
mercy, and giveth.
|
| 37:22
| For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be
cursed of him shall be cut off.
|
| 37:23
| The steps of a good man are ordered by 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 bread.
|
| 37:26
| He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
|
| 37:27
| Depart from evil, and do good; and 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 speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of
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 bay tree.
|
| 37:36
| Yet he passed away, 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 end of that man is
peace.
|
| 37:38
| But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked
shall be cut off.
|
| 37:39
| But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength
in the time of trouble.
|
| 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.
