37:1 [A Psalm] of David 1732. Fret 2734 8691 not thyself because of evildoers 7489 8688, neither be thou envious 7065 8762 against the workers 6213 8802 of iniquity 5766.

37:2 For they shall soon 4120 be cut down 5243 8799 like the grass 2682, and wither 5034 8799 as the green 3418 herb 1877.

37:3 Trust 982 8798 in the LORD 3068, and do 6213 8798 good 2896; [so] shalt thou dwell 7931 8798 in the land 776, and verily 530 thou shalt be fed 7462 8798.(verily: Heb. in truth, or, stableness)

37:4 Delight 6026 8690 thyself also in the LORD 3068; and he shall give 5414 8799 thee the desires 4862 of thine heart 3820.

37:5 Commit 1556 8798 thy way 1870 unto the LORD 3068; trust 982 8798 also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass 6213 8799.(Commit…: Heb. Roll thy way upon)

37:6 And he shall bring forth 3318 8689 thy righteousness 6664 as the light 216, and thy judgment 4941 as the noonday 6672.

37:7 Rest 1826 8798 in the LORD 3068, and wait patiently 2342 8708 for him: fret 2734 8691 not thyself because of him who prospereth 6743 8688 in his way 1870, because of the man 376 who bringeth 6213 0 wicked devices 4209 to pass 6213 8802.(Rest in: Heb. Be silent to)

37:8 Cease 7503 8685 from anger 639, and forsake 5800 8798 wrath 2534: fret 2734 8691 not thyself in any wise 389 to do evil 7489 8687.

37:9 For evildoers 7489 8688 shall be cut off 3772 8735: but those that wait 6960 8802 upon the LORD 3068, they shall inherit 3423 8799 the earth 776.

37:10 For yet a little while 4592, and the wicked 7563 [shall] not [be]: yea, thou shalt diligently consider 995 8712 his place 4725, and it [shall] not [be].

37:11 But the meek 6035 shall inherit 3423 8799 the earth 776; and shall delight 6026 8694 themselves in the abundance 7230 of peace 7965.

37:12 The wicked 7563 plotteth 2161 8802 against the just 6662, and gnasheth 2786 8802 upon him with his teeth 8127.(plotteth: or, practiseth)

37:13 The Lord 136 shall laugh 7832 8799 at him: for he seeth 7200 8804 that his day 3117 is coming 935 8799.

37:14 The wicked 7563 have drawn out 6605 8804 the sword 2719, and have bent 1869 8804 their bow 7198, to cast down 5307 8687 the poor 6041 and needy 34, [and] to slay 2873 8800 such as be of upright 3477 conversation 1870.(such…: Heb. the upright of way)

37:15 Their sword 2719 shall enter 935 8799 into their own heart 3820, and their bows 7198 shall be broken 7665 8735.

37:16 A little 4592 that a righteous man 6662 hath [is] better 2896 than the riches 1995 of many 7227 wicked 7563.

37:17 For the arms 2220 of the wicked 7563 shall be broken 7665 8735: but the LORD 3068 upholdeth 5564 8802 the righteous 6662.

37:18 The LORD 3068 knoweth 3045 8802 the days 3117 of the upright 8549: and their inheritance 5159 shall be for ever 5769.

37:19 They shall not be ashamed 954 8799 in the evil 7451 time 6256: and in the days 3117 of famine 7459 they shall be satisfied 7646 8799.

37:20 But the wicked 7563 shall perish 6 8799, and the enemies 341 8802 of the LORD 3068 [shall be] as the fat 3368 of lambs 3733: they shall consume 3615 8804; into smoke 6227 shall they consume away 3615 8804.(the fat: Heb. the preciousness)

37:21 The wicked 7563 borroweth 3867 8801, and payeth not again 7999 8762: but the righteous 6662 sheweth mercy 2603 8802, and giveth 5414 8802.

37:22 For [such as be] blessed 1288 8794 of him shall inherit 3423 8799 the earth 776; and [they that be] cursed 7043 8794 of him shall be cut off 3772 8735.

37:23 The steps 4703 of a [good] man 1397 are ordered 3559 8797 by the LORD 3068: and he delighteth 2654 8799 in his way 1870.(ordered: or, established)

37:24 Though he fall 5307 8799, he shall not be utterly cast down 2904 8714: for the LORD 3068 upholdeth 5564 8802 [him with] his hand 3027.

37:25 I have been young 5288, and [now] am old 2204 8804; yet have I not seen 7200 8804 the righteous 6662 forsaken 5800 8737, nor his seed 2233 begging 1245 8764 bread 3899.

37:26 [He is] ever 3117 merciful 2603 8802, and lendeth 3867 8688; and his seed 2233 [is] blessed 1293.(ever: Heb. all the day)

37:27 Depart 5493 8798 from evil 7451, and do 6213 8798 good 2896; and dwell 7931 8798 for evermore 5769.

37:28 For the LORD 3068 loveth 157 8802 judgment 4941, and forsaketh 5800 8799 not his saints 2623; they are preserved 8104 8738 for ever 5769: but the seed 2233 of the wicked 7563 shall be cut off 3772 8738.

37:29 The righteous 6662 shall inherit 3423 8799 the land 776, and dwell 7931 8799 therein for ever 5703.

37:30 The mouth 6310 of the righteous 6662 speaketh 1897 8799 wisdom 2451, and his tongue 3956 talketh 1696 8762 of judgment 4941.

37:31 The law 8451 of his God 430 [is] in his heart 3820; none of his steps 838 shall slide 4571 8799.(steps: or, goings)

37:32 The wicked 7563 watcheth 6822 8802 the righteous 6662, and seeketh 1245 8764 to slay 4191 8687 him.

37:33 The LORD 3068 will not leave 5800 8799 him in his hand 3027, nor condemn 7561 8686 him when he is judged 8199 8736.

37:34 Wait 6960 8761 on the LORD 3068, and keep 8104 8798 his way 1870, and he shall exalt 7311 8787 thee to inherit 3423 8800 the land 776: when the wicked 7563 are cut off 3772 8736, thou shalt see 7200 8799 [it].

37:35 I have seen 7200 8804 the wicked 7563 in great power 6184, and spreading 6168 8693 himself like a green 7488 bay tree 249.(a green…: or, a green tree that groweth in his own soil)

37:36 Yet he passed away 5674 8799, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I sought 1245 8762 him, but he could not be found 4672 8738.

37:37 Mark 8104 8798 the perfect 8535 [man], and behold 7200 8798 the upright 3477: for the end 319 of [that] man 376 [is] peace 7965.

37:38 But the transgressors 6586 8802 shall be destroyed 8045 8738 together 3162: the end 319 of the wicked 7563 shall be cut off 3772 8738.

37:39 But the salvation 8668 of the righteous 6662 [is] of the LORD 3068: [he is] their strength 4581 in the time 6256 of trouble 6869.

37:40 And the LORD 3068 shall help 5826 8799 them, and deliver 6403 8762 them: he shall deliver 6403 8762 them from the wicked 7563, and save 3467 8686 them, because they trust 2620 8804 in him.
