Psalm 37

1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be you envious against the workers of iniquity.
Compare verse
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Compare verse
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and truly you shall be fed.
Compare verse
4 Delight yourself also in the LORD: and he shall give you the desires of your heart.
Compare verse
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Compare verse
6 And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.
Compare verse
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
Compare verse
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any wise to do evil.
Compare verse
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait on the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Compare verse
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yes, you shall diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
Compare verse
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Compare verse
12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes on him with his teeth.
Compare verse
13 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he sees that his day is coming.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Compare verse
16 A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked.
Compare verse
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholds the righteous.
Compare verse
18 The LORD knows the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Compare verse
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
21 The wicked borrows, and pays not again: but the righteous shows mercy, and gives.
Compare verse
22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
Compare verse
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights in his way.
Compare verse
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
Compare verse
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Compare verse
26 He is ever merciful, and lends; and his seed is blessed.
Compare verse
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever more.
Compare verse
28 For the LORD loves judgment, and forsakes not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Compare verse
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
Compare verse
30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of judgment.
Compare verse
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
Compare verse
32 The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.
Compare verse
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Compare verse
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
Compare verse
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
Compare verse
36 Yet he passed away, and, see, he was not: yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Compare verse
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
Compare verse
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Compare verse
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
Compare verse
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.
