Psalms 37:1-7

¹To David. The psalm of David. Do not thou pursue or follow wicked men; neither love thou men doing wickedness.

²For they shall wax dry swiftly as hay; and they shall fall down soon as the worts of herbs.

³Hope thou in the Lord, and do thou goodness; and inhabit thou the land, and thou shalt be fed with his riches.

⁴Delight thou in the Lord; and he shall give to thee the askings of thine heart.

⁵Show thy way to the Lord; and hope in him, and he shall do.

⁶And he shall lead out thy rightfulness or rightwiseness as light, and thy doom as midday;

⁷be thou subject to the Lord, and pray thou him. Do not thou pursue or follow him, that hath prosperity in his way; nor a man doing unright-fulness.
