Psalms 37:3-20

31TrustH982 in the LordH3068 and doH6213 goodH2896; 2LiveH7931 inH7931 the landH776 and 34cultivateH7462 faithfulnessH530.45DelightH6026 yourself in the LordH3068; And He will 6giveH5414 you the desiresH4862 of your heartH3820.57CommitH1556 your wayH1870 to the LordH3068, TrustH982 also in Him, and He will doH6213 it.6He will bringH3318 outH3318 8your righteousnessH6664 as the lightH216, And your judgmentH4941 9as the noondayH6672.

710RestH1826 in the LordH3068 and 11waitH2342 12patientlyH2342 for Him; 13Do not getH2734 upsetH2734 because of one who isH6743 14successfulH6743 in his wayH1870, Because of the personH376 who carriesH6213 outH6213 wickedH4209 schemesH4209.8CeaseH7503 from angerH639 and 15abandonH5800 wrathH2534; Do not getH2734 upsetH2734; it leads onlyH389 to evildoingH7489.9For 16evildoersH7489 will be eliminatedH3772, But those who waitH6960 for the LordH3068, they will 17inheritH3423 the landH776.10YetH5750 18a littleH4592 whileH4592 and the wickedH7563 personH7563 will be noH369 moreH369; And you will lookH995 carefullyH995 for 19his placeH4725 and he will not be there.11But 20the humbleH6035 will inheritH3423 the landH776 And will delightH6026 themselves in 21abundantH7230 prosperityH7965.

12The wickedH7563 22plotsH2161 against the righteousH6662, And 23gnashesH2786 at him with his teethH8127.13The LordH136 24laughsH7832 at him, For He seesH7200 that 25his dayH3117 is comingH935.14The wickedH7563 have drawnH6605 the swordH2719 and 26bentH1869 their bowH7198 To takeH5307 downH5307 the 27afflictedH6041 and the needyH34, To 28killH2873 offH2873 those who are uprightH3477 in conductH1870.15Their swordH2719 will enterH935 their own heartH3820, And their 29bowsH7198 will be brokenH7665.

1630BetterH2896 is the littleH4592 of the righteousH6662 ThanH4480 the abundanceH1995 of manyH7227 wickedH7563.17For the 31armsH2220 of the wickedH7563 will be brokenH7665, But the LordH3068 32sustainsH5564 the righteousH6662.18The LordH3068 33knowsH3045 the daysH3117 of the 34blamelessH8549, And their 35inheritanceH5159 will be foreverH5769.19They will not beH954 ashamedH954 in the timeH6256 of evilH7463, And 36in the daysH3117 of famineH7459 they will haveH7646 plentyH7646.20But the 37wickedH7563 will perishH6; And the enemiesH340 of the LordH3068 will be like the 38gloryH3368 of the pasturesH3733, They vanishH3615--39like smokeH6227 they vanishH3615 away.
