Psalms 37
Book: Psalms
THE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WICKED
1 Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
7 Rest in Jehovah, 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.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay such as are upright in the way.
19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; In smoke shall they consume away.
22 For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land; And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread.
28 For Jehovah loveth justice, And forsaketh not his saints; They are preserved for ever: But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
34 Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
