Psalms 37

²For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,

³Trust in the LORD, and do good.

⁴Also delight yourself in the LORD,

⁵Commit your way to the LORD.

⁶he will make your righteousness shine out like light,

⁷Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him.

⁸Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.

⁹For evildoers shall be cut off,

¹⁰For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more.

¹¹But the humble shall inherit the land,

¹²The wicked plots against the just,

¹³The Lord will laugh at him,

¹⁴The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,

¹⁵Their sword shall enter into their own heart.

¹⁶Better is a little that the righteous has,

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,

¹⁸The LORD knows the days of the perfect.

¹⁹They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil.

²⁰But the wicked shall perish.

²¹The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back,

²²For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land.

²³A man’s steps are established by the LORD.

²⁴Though he stumble, he shall not fall,

²⁵I have been young, and now am old,

²⁶All day long he deals graciously, and lends.

²⁷Depart from evil, and do good.

²⁸For the LORD loves justice,

²⁹The righteous shall inherit the land,

³⁰The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom.

³¹The law of his God is in his heart.

³²The wicked watch the righteous,

³³The LORD will not leave him in his hand,

³⁴Wait for the LORD, and keep his way,

³⁵I have seen the wicked in great power,

³⁶But he passed away, and behold, he was not.

³⁷Mark the perfect man, and see the upright,

³⁸As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together.

³⁹But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD.

⁴⁰The LORD helps them and rescues them.
