Psalms 37:3-20

3TrustH982 in YhwhH3068, and doH6213 goodH2896; so shalt thou dwellH7931 in the landH776, and verilyH530 thou shalt be fedH7462.1

4DelightH6026 thyself also in YhwhH3068; and he shall giveH5414 thee the desiresH4862 of thine heartH3820.

5CommitH1556 thy wayH1870 unto YhwhH3068; trustH982 also in him; and he shall bring it to passH6213.2

6And he shall bring forthH3318 thy righteousnessH6664 as the lightH216, and thy judgmentH4941 as the noondayH6672.

7RestH1826 in YhwhH3068, and wait patientlyH2342 for him: fretH2734 not thyself because of him who prosperethH6743 in his wayH1870, because of the manH376 who bringethH6213 wicked devicesH4209 to passH6213.3

8CeaseH7503 from angerH639, and forsakeH5800 wrathH2534: fretH2734 not thyself in any wiseH389 to do evilH7489.

9For evildoersH7489 shall be cut offH3772: but those that waitH6960 upon YhwhH3068, they shall inheritH3423 the earthH776.

10For yet a little whileH4592, and the wickedH7563 shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently considerH995 his placeH4725, and it shall not be.

11But the meekH6035 shall inheritH3423 the earthH776; and shall delightH6026 themselves in the abundanceH7230 of peaceH7965.

12The wickedH7563 plottethH2161 against the justH6662, and gnashethH2786 upon him with his teethH8127.4

13The LordH136 shall laughH7832 at him: for he seethH7200 that his dayH3117 is comingH935.

14The wickedH7563 have drawn outH6605 the swordH2719, and have bentH1869 their bowH7198, to cast downH5307 the poorH6041 and needyH34, and to slayH2873 such as be of uprightH3477 conversationH1870.5

15Their swordH2719 shall enterH935 into their own heartH3820, and their bowsH7198 shall be brokenH7665.

16A littleH4592 that a righteous manH6662 hath is betterH2896 than the richesH1995 of manyH7227 wickedH7563.

17For the armsH2220 of the wickedH7563 shall be brokenH7665: But YhwhH3068 upholdethH5564 the righteousH6662.

18YhwhH3068 knowethH3045 the daysH3117 of the uprightH8549: and their inheritanceH5159 shall be for everH5769.

19They shall not be ashamedH954 in the evilH7451 timeH6256: and in the daysH3117 of famineH7459 they shall be satisfiedH7646.

20But the wickedH7563 shall perishH6, and the enemiesH341 of YhwhH3068 shall be as the fatH3368 of lambsH3733: they shall consumeH3615; into smokeH6227 shall they consume awayH3615.6
