Psalms 37:3-20
3TrustH982 in the LORDH3068 and doH6213 goodH2896; dwellH7931 in the landH776 and cultivateH7462 faithfulnessH530.4Delight yourselfH6026 inH5921 the LORDH3068, and He will giveH5414 you the desiresH4862 of your heartH3820.
5CommitH1556 your wayH1870 toH5921 the LORDH3068;trustH982 in HimH5921, and HeH1931 will do itH6213.6He will bring forthH3318 your righteousnessH6664 like the dawnH216,your justiceH4941 like the noonday sunH6672.
7Be stillH1826 before the LORDH3068and wait patientlyH2342 for Him;do notH408 fretH2734 when men prosperH6743 in their waysH1870,when they carry outH6213 wicked schemesH4209.
8RefrainH7503 from angerH639 and abandonH5800 wrathH2534;do notH408 fretH2734—it can onlyH389 bring harmH7489.9ForH3588 the evildoersH7489 will be cut offH3772,but those who hopeH6960 in the LORDH3068H1992 will inheritH3423 the landH776.
10Yet a little whileH5750H4592, and the wickedH7563 will be no moreH369;though you lookH995 for themH5921, they will not be foundH4725H369.11But the meekH6035 will inheritH3423 the landH7761and delightH6026 inH5921 abundantH7230 prosperityH7965.
12The wickedH7563 schemeH2161 against the righteousH6662and gnashH2786 their teethH8127 at themH5921,13but the LordH136 laughsH7832,seeingH7200 thatH3588 their dayH3117 is comingH935.
14The wickedH7563 have drawnH6605 the swordH2719and bentH1869 the bowH7198to bring downH5307 the poorH6041 and needyH34,to slayH2873 those whose waysH1870 are uprightH3477.15But their swordsH2719 will pierceH935 their own heartsH3820,and their bowsH7198 will be brokenH7665.
16BetterH2896 is the littleH4592 of the righteousH6662than the abundanceH1995 of manyH7227 who are wickedH7563.17ForH3588 the armsH2220 of the wickedH7563 will be brokenH7665,but the LORDH3068 upholdsH5564 the righteousH6662.
18The LORDH3068 knowsH3045 the daysH3117 of the blamelessH8549,and their inheritanceH5159 will last foreverH1961H5769.19In the timeH6256 of evilH7451 they will notH3808 be ashamedH954,and in the daysH3117 of famineH7459 they will be satisfiedH7646.
20ButH3588 the wickedH7563 and enemiesH341 of the LORDH3068will perishH6 like the gloryH3368 of the fieldsH3733.They will vanishH3615;like smokeH6227 they will fade awayH3615.
