Psalms 37:3-20

3Confide in Jehovah, and do goodH2896; dwellH7931 in the landH776, and feedH7462 on faithfulnessH530;4and delightH6026 thyself in Jehovah, and he will giveH5414 thee the desires of thy heartH3820.5Commit thy wayH1870 unto Jehovah, and relyH982 upon him: he will bring [it] to pass;6and he will bringH3318 forthH3318 thy righteousnessH6664 as the lightH216, and thy judgmentH4941 as the noonday.7Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fretH2734 not thyself because of him that prospereth in his wayH1870, because of the manH376 that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.8Cease from angerH639, and forsakeH5800 wrathH2534; fretH2734 not thyself: it [would be] onlyH389 to do evilH7489.9For evil-doers shall be cutH3772 off; but those that waitH6960 on Jehovah, they shall possessH3423 the landH776.10For yetH5750 a littleH4592 while, and the wickedH7563 is not; and thou considerest his placeH4725, but he is not.11But the meek shall possessH3423 the landH776, and shall delightH6026 themselves in the abundanceH7230 of prosperity.12The wickedH7563 plotteth against the righteousH6662, and gnasheth his teethH8127 against him.13The LordH136 laugheth at him; for he seeth that his dayH3117 is comingH935.14The wickedH7563 have drawn out the swordH2719, and have bentH1869 their bowH7198, to castH5307 down the afflictedH6041 and needyH34, to slay those that are uprightH3477 in [the] wayH1870:15their swordH2719 shall enter into their own heartH3820, and their bowsH7198 shall be brokenH7665.16The littleH4592 that the righteousH6662 hath is betterH2896 than the abundanceH1995 of manyH7227 wickedH7563;17for the armsH2220 of the wickedH7563 shall be brokenH7665, but Jehovah upholdeth the righteousH6662.18Jehovah knoweth the daysH3117 of the perfectH8549; and their inheritanceH5159 shall beH1961 for everH5769:19they shall not be ashamedH954 in the timeH6256 of evilH7451, and in the daysH3117 of famine they shall be satisfiedH7646.20For the wickedH7563 shall perishH6, and the enemiesH341 of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambsH3733: they shall consume, like smokeH6227 shall they consume awayH3615.
