Psalms - ch 37 v 1 - 20
- 1 Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness;
- for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
- Confide in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness;
- and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
- Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring it to pass;
- and he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
- Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.
- Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it would be only to do evil.
- For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait on Jehovah, they shall possess the land.
- For yet a little while, and the wicked is not; and thou considerest his place, but he is not.
- But the meek shall possess the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of prosperity.
- The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth his teeth against him.
- The Lord laugheth at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.
- The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the afflicted and needy, to slay those that are upright in the way:
- their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
- The little that the righteous hath is better than the abundance of many wicked;
- for the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
- Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever:
- they shall not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
- For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume, like smoke shall they consume away.
- A Psalm of David.
