Psalms 37

A Psalm of David.

1

 aDo not freth2734 because of evildoersh7489a, Be not  benvioush7065 toward wrongdoersh5767b.

2

For they will  awitherh4448c quicklyh4120 like the grassh2682 And  bfadeh5034b like the greenh3418 herbh1877.

3

 aTrusth982 in the LORDh3068 and doh6213a goodh2896b;  bDwellh7931 in the landh776 and  1 ccultivateh7462b faithfulnessh530.

4

 aDelighth6026 yourself in the LORDh3068; And He will  bgiveh5414 you the desiresh4862 of your hearth3820.

5

 aCommith1556 your wayh1870 to the LORDh3068, Trusth982 also in Him, and He will doh6213a it.

6

He will bringh3318 forthh3318  ayour righteousnessh6664 as the lighth216 And your judgmenth4941  bas the noondayh6672a.

7

 1Resth1826a in the LORDh3068 and  awaith2342a  2patientlyh2342a for Him;  bDo not freth2734 because of him who  cprospersh6743b in his wayh1870, Because of the manh376 who carriesh6213a out wickedh4209 schemesh4209.

8

Ceaseh7503 from angerh639 and  aforsakeh5800a wrathh2534; Do not freth2734; it leads onlyh389 to evildoingh7489a.

9

For  aevildoersh7489a will be cuth3772 offh3772, But those who waith6960a for the LORDh3068, they will  binherith3423 the landh776.

10

Yeth5750  aa littleh4592 whileh4592 and the wickedh7563 manh7563 will be noh369 moreh369; And you will lookh995 carefullyh995 for  bhis placeh4725 and he will not be there.

11

But  athe humbleh6035 will inherith3423 the landh776 And will delighth6026 themselves in  babundanth7230 prosperityh7965.

12

The wickedh7563  aplotsh2161 against the righteoush6662 And  bgnashesh2786 at him with his teethh8127.

13

The Lordh136  alaughsh7832 at him, For He seesh7200  bhis dayh3117 is comingh935.

14

The wickedh7563 have drawnh6605a the swordh2719 and  abenth1869 their bowh7198 To casth5307 downh5307 the  bafflictedh6041 and the needyh34, To  cslayh2873 those whoh3477 are uprighth3477 in conducth1870.

15

Their swordh2719 will enterh935 their own hearth3820, And their  abowsh7198 will be brokenh7665.

16

 aBetterh2896a is the littleh4592 of the righteoush6662 Thanh4480 the abundanceh1995 of manyh7227a wickedh7563.

17

For the  aarmsh2220 of the wickedh7563 will be brokenh7665, But the LORDh3068  bsustainsh5564 the righteoush6662.

18

The LORDh3068  aknowsh3045 the daysh3117 of the  1blamelessh8549, And their  binheritanceh5159 will be foreverh5769.

19

They will not be ashamedh954 in the timeh6256 of evilh7463a, And  ain the daysh3117 of famineh7459 they will haveh7646 abundanceh7646.

20

But the  awickedh7563 will perishh6; And the enemiesh340 of the LORDh3068 will be like the  1gloryh3368 of the pasturesh3733b, They vanishh3615-- blike smokeh6227 they vanishh3615 away.

21

The wickedh7563 borrowsh3867b and does not payh7999a backh7999a, But the righteoush6662  ais gracioush2603a and givesh5414.

22

For  athose blessedh1288 by Him will  binherith3423 the landh776, But those  ccursedh7043 by Him will be cuth3772 offh3772.

23

 aThe stepsh4703 of a manh1397 are establishedh3559 by the LORDh3068, And He  bdelightsh2654a in his wayh1870.

24

Whenh3588  ahe fallsh5307, he will not be hurledh2904 headlongh2904, Becauseh3588  bthe LORDh3068 is the One  1who holdsh5564 his handh3027.

25

I have beenh1961 youngh5288 and nowh1571 I am oldh2204, Yet  aI have not seenh7200 the righteoush6662 forsakenh5800a Or  bhis  1descendantsh2233 beggingh1245 breadh3899.

26

Allh3605 dayh3117 long  ahe is gracioush2603a and lendsh3867b, And  bhis  1descendantsh2233 are a blessingh1293.

27

 aDeparth5493 from evilh7451b and doh6213a goodh2896b,  1So you will abideh7931  bforeverh5769.

28

For the LORDh3068  alovesh157  1justiceh4941 And  bdoes not forsakeh5800a His godlyh2623 onesh2623; They are  cpreservedh8104 foreverh5769, But the  2 ddescendantsh2233 of the wickedh7563 will be cuth3772 offh3772.

29

The righteoush6662 will  ainherith3423 the landh776 And  bdwellh7931 in it foreverh5703.

30

The mouthh6310 of the righteoush6662  auttersh1897 wisdomh2451, And his tongueh3956  bspeaksh1696 justiceh4941.

31

The  alawh8451 of his Godh430 is in his hearth3820; His  bstepsh804a do not sliph4571.

32

The  awickedh7563 spiesh6822 upon the righteoush6662 And  bseeksh1245 to killh4191 him.

33

The LORDh3068 will  anot leaveh5800a him in his handh3027 Or  blet him be condemnedh7561 when he is judgedh8199.

34

 aWaith6960a for the LORDh3068 and keeph8104 His wayh1870, And He will exalth7311 you to inherith3423 the landh776; When the  bwickedh7563 are cuth3772 offh3772, you will seeh7200 it.

35

I have  aseenh7200 a wickedh7563, violenth6184 manh7563 Spreadingh6168 himself like a  bluxurianth7488  1treeh249 in its nativeh249 soil.

36

Then  1he passedh5674a awayh5674a, and loh2009, he  awas noh369 moreh369; I soughth1245 for him, but he could not be foundh4672.

37

Markh8104 the  1 ablamelessh8535 manh8535, and beholdh7200 the  buprighth3477; For the manh376 of peaceh7965 will have a  2 cposterityh319.

38

But transgressorsh6586 will be altogetherh3164a  adestroyedh8045; The  1posterityh319 of the wickedh7563 will be  bcuth3772 offh3772.

39

But the  asalvationh8668 of the righteoush6662 is from the LORDh3068; He is their strengthh4581  bin timeh6256 of troubleh6869a.

40

 aThe LORDh3068 helpsh5826 them and deliversh6403 them; He  bdeliversh6403 them from the wickedh7563 and savesh3467 them, Becauseh3588 they  ctakeh2620 refugeh2620 in Him.
