37:1 ¶
[[[A Psalm] of David.]]°
Fret°°
not thyself°°

neither°
be thou envious°°
against the workers°°
of iniquity.° |
37:2
For they shall soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs. |
|
37:2
For°
they shall soon°
be cut down°°
like the grass,°
and wither°°
as the green°
herb.° |
37:3
Hope in the Lord, and do good; and dwell on the land, and thou shalt be fed with the wealth of it. |

Trust°°
in Yahweh,°
and do°°
good;°
[so] shalt thou dwell°°
in the land,°
and verily°
thou shalt be fed.°° |
37:4
Delight [thyself] in the Lord; and he shall grant thee the requests of thine heart. |

thee the desires°
of thine heart.° |

Disclose thy way to the Lord, and hope in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass. |

Commit°°
thy way°
unto°
Yahweh;°
trust°°
also in°
him; and he°
shall bring [it] to pass.°° |
37:6
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noon-day. |
|
37:6
And he shall bring forth°°
thy righteousness°
as the light,°
and thy judgment°
as the noonday.° |
37:7
Submit thyself to the Lord, and supplicate him: fret not thyself because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds. |
|
37:7
Rest°°
in Yahweh,°
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.°°° |
37:8
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself so as to do evil. |
|
37:8
Cease°°
from anger,°°
and forsake°°
wrath:°
fret°°
not thyself°°
in any wise°
to do evil.°° |
37:9
For evil-doers shall be destroyed: but they that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the land. |
|
37:9
For°
evildoers°°
shall be cut off:°°
but those that wait°°
upon°
Yahweh,°
they°
shall inherit°°
the earth.° |
37:10
And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be, and thou shalt seek for his place, and shalt not find [it]. |
|
37:10
For yet°
a little°
while,°
and the wicked°
[shall] not°
[be]: yea, thou shalt diligently consider°°°
his place,°
and it [shall] not°
[be]. |
37:11
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight [themselves] in the abundance of peace. |
|
37:11
But the meek°
shall inherit°°
the earth;°
and shall delight°°
themselves°
in°
the abundance°
of peace.° |
37:12
The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him. |
|
37:12
The wicked°
plotteth°°
against the just,°
and gnasheth°°
upon°
him with his teeth.° |
37:13
But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foresees that his day will come. |
|
37:13
Yahweh°
shall laugh°°
at him: for°
he seeth°°
that°
his day°
is coming.°° |
37:14
Sinners have drawn their swords, they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy one, [and] to slay the upright in heart. |
|
37:14
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.° |
37:15
Let their sword enter into their [own] heart, and their bows be broken. |
|
37:15
Their sword°
shall enter°°
into their own heart,°
and their bows°
shall be broken.°° |
37:16
A little is better to the righteous than abundant wealth of sinners. |
|
37:16
A little°
that a righteous°
man°
hath [is] better°
than the riches°°
of many°
wicked.° |
37:17
For the arms of sinners shall be broken; but the Lord supports the righteous. |
|
37:17
For°
the arms°
of the wicked°
shall be broken:°°
but Yahweh°
upholdeth°°
the righteous.° |
37:18
The Lord knows the ways of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever. |

37:18
Yahweh°
knoweth°°
the days°
of the upright:°
and their inheritance°
shall be°
for ever.° |
37:19
They shall not be ashamed in an evil time; and in days of famine they shall be satisfied. |
|
37:19
They shall not°
be ashamed°°
in the evil°
time:°
and in the days°
of famine°
they shall be satisfied.°° |
37:20
For the sinners shall perish; and the enemies of the Lord at the moment of their being honoured and exalted have utterly vanished like smoke. |
|
37:20
But°
the wicked°
shall perish,°°
and the enemies°°
of Yahweh°
[shall be] as the fat°
of lambs:°
they shall consume;°°
into smoke°
shall they consume away.°° |
37:21
The sinner borrows, and will not pay again: but the righteous has compassion, and gives. |
|
37:21
The wicked°
borroweth,°°
and payeth°
not°
again:°°
but the righteous°
sheweth mercy,°°
and giveth.°° |
37:22
For they that bless him shall inherit the earth; and they that curse him shall be utterly destroyed. |

37:22
For°
[such as be] blessed°°
of him shall inherit°°
the earth;°
and [they that be] cursed°°
of him shall be cut off.°° |
37:23
The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord: and he will take pleasure in his way. |
|
37:23
The steps°
of a [good] man°
are ordered°°
by Yahweh:°°
and he delighteth°°
in his way.° |
37:24
When he falls, he shall not be ruined: for the Lord supports his hand. |
|
37:24
Though°
he fall,°°
he shall not°
be utterly cast down:°°
for°
Yahweh°
upholdeth°°
[him with] his hand.° |
37:25
I was [once] young, indeed I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread. |
|
37:25
I have been°
young,°
and°
[now] am old;°°
yet have I not°
seen°°
the righteous°
forsaken,°°
nor his seed°
begging°°
bread.° |
37:26
He is merciful, and lends continually; and his seed shall be blessed. |
|
37:26
[He is] ever°°
merciful,°°
and lendeth;°°
and his seed°
[is] blessed.° |
37:27
Turn aside from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever. |
|
37:27
Depart°°
from°
evil,°
and do°°
good;°
and dwell°°
for evermore.° |
37:28
For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake his saints; they shall be preserved for ever: the blameless shall be avenged, but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed. |
|
37:28
For°
Yahweh°
loveth°°
judgment,°
and forsaketh°°
not°°
his saints;°
they are preserved°°
for ever:°
but the seed°
of the wicked°
shall be cut off.°° |
37:29
But the righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell upon it for ever. |
|
37:29
The righteous°
shall inherit°°
the land,°
and dwell°°
therein°
for ever.° |
37:30
The mouth of the righteous will meditate wisdom, and his tongue will speak of judgment. |
|
37:30
The mouth°
of the righteous°
speaketh°°
wisdom,°
and his tongue°
talketh°°
of judgment.° |
37:31
The law of his God is in his heart; and his steps shall not slide. |
|
37:31
The law°
of his Elohim°
[is] in his heart;°
none°
of his steps°
shall slide.°° |
37:32
The sinner watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him. |
|
37:32
The wicked°
watcheth°°
the righteous,°
and seeketh°°
to slay°°
him. |
37:33
But the Lord will not leave him in his hands, nor by any means condemn him when he is judged. |
|
37:33
Yahweh°
will not°
leave°°
him in his hand,°
nor°
condemn°°
him when he is judged.°° |
37:34
Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are destroyed, thou shalt see [it]. |
|
37:34
Wait°°
on°
Yahweh,°
and keep°°
his way,°
and he shall exalt°°
thee to inherit°°
the land:°
when the wicked°
are cut off,°°
thou shalt see°°
[it]. |
37:35
I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself, and lifting himself up like the cedars of Lebanon{gr.Libanus}. |
|
37:35
I have seen°°
the wicked°
in great power,°
and spreading°°
himself°
like a green°
bay tree.° |
37:36
Yet I passed by, and lo! he was not: and I sought him, but his place was not found. |
|
37:36
Yet he passed away,°°
and, lo,°
he [was] not:°
yea, I sought°°
him, but he could not°
be found.°° |
37:37
Maintain innocence, and behold uprightness: for there is a remnant to the peaceable man. |
|
37:37
Mark°°
the perfect°
[man], and behold°°
the upright:°
for°
the end°
of [that] man°
[is] peace.° |
37:38
But the transgressors shall be utterly destroyed together: the remnants of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed. |
|
37:38
But the transgressors°°
shall be destroyed°°
together:°
the end°
of the wicked°
shall be cut off.°° |
37:39
But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; and he is their defender in the time of affliction. |
|
37:39
But the salvation°
of the righteous°
[is] of Yahweh:°°
[he is] their strength°
in the time°
of trouble.° |
37:40
And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: and he shall rescue them from sinners, and save them, because they have hoped in him. |
|
37:40
And Yahweh°
shall help°°
them, and deliver°°
them: he shall deliver°°
them from the wicked,°°
and save°°
them, because°
they trust°°
in him. |
