Psalms 37:5-36

⁵(ג) Commit thy way unto the Lord; Trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

⁶And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, And thy judgment as the noonday.

⁷(ד) Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

⁸(ה) Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

⁹For evildoers shall be cut off: But those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

¹⁰(ו) For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the earth; And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

¹²(ז) The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

¹³The Lord shall laugh at him: For he seeth that his day is coming.

¹⁴(ח) The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, And to slay such as be of upright conversation.

¹⁵Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken.

¹⁶(ט) A little that a righteous man hath Is better than the riches of many wicked.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: But the Lord upholdeth the righteous.

¹⁸(י) The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: And their inheritance shall be for ever.

¹⁹They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

²⁰(כ) But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

²¹(ל) The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: But the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

²²For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; And they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

²³(מ) The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: And he delighteth in his way.

²⁴Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: For the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

²⁵(נ) I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread.

²⁶He is ever merciful, and lendeth; And his seed is blessed.

²⁷(ס) Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore.

²⁸For the Lord loveth judgment, And forsaketh not his saints; (לע) They are preserved for ever: But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

²⁹The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell therein for ever.

³⁰(פ) The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, And his tongue talketh of judgment.

³¹The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.

³²(צ) The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him.

³³The Lord will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.

³⁴(ק) Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, And he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

³⁵(ר) I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green bay tree.

³⁶Yet he passed away, and lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
