Psalms 37:2-15

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.

⁸Cease thou of ire, and forsake strong vengeance; do not thou pursue or follow, that thou do wickedly.

⁹For they, that do wickedly, shall be destroyed; but they that suffer the Lord, shall inherit the land.

¹⁰And yet a little, and a sinner shall not be; and thou shalt seek his place, and thou shalt not find it.

¹¹But mild men shall inherit the land; and shall delight in the multitude of peace.

¹²A sinner shall ambush the rightful or rightwise man; and he shall gnash with his teeth on him.

¹³But the Lord shall scorn the sinner; for he beholdeth that his day cometh.

¹⁴Sinners have drawn out sword; they bent their bow. To deceive a poor man and needy; to strangle rightful or right men of heart.

¹⁵Their sword enter into the heart of themselves; and their bow be broken.
