Psalms - ch 37 v 1 - 20
- By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,
- For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.
- Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell `in' the land, and enjoy faithfulness,
- And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart.
- Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh,
- And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day.
- Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.
- Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil.
- For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.
- And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.
- And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.
- The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.
- The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.
- A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.
- Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.
- Better `is' the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
- For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.
- Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is -- to the age.
- They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.
- But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.
