Psalms 37:3-20

3TrustH982 in the LORDH3068, and doH6213 goodH2896; dwellH7931 in the landH776, and followH3068 afterH776 faithfulnessH530.

4DelightH6026 thyself also in the LORDH3068; and he shall giveH5414 thee the desiresH3820 of thine heartH3820.

5CommitH1556 thy wayH1870 unto the LORDH3068; trustH982 also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.

6Add he shall makeH4941 thy righteousnessH6664 to goH3318 forthH3318 as the lightH216, and thy judgmentH4941 as the noonday.

7Rest in the LORDH3068, and wait patiently for him: fretH2734 notH408 thyself because of him who prospereth in his wayH1870, because of the manH376 who bringeth wickedH4209 devicesH4209 to pass.

8CeaseH7503 from angerH639, and forsakeH5800 wrathH2534: fretH2734 notH408 thyself, it tendeth onlyH389 to evil-doing.

9For evil-doers shall be cutH3772 offH3772: but thoseH1992 that waitH6960 upon the LORDH3068, they shall inheritH3423 the landH776.

10For yet a littleH4592 whileH5750, and the wickedH7563 shall notH369 be: yea, thou shalt diligentlyH995 considerH995 his placeH4725, and he shall notH369 be.

11But the meek shall inheritH3423 the landH776; and shall delightH6026 themselvesH5921 in the abundanceH7230 of peaceH7965.

12The wickedH7563 plotteth againstH5921 the justH6662, and gnasheth uponH5921 him with his teethH8127.

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

14The wickedH7563 have drawnH6605 outH1869 the swordH2719, and have bentH1869 their bowH7198; to castH5307 downH5307 the poorH6041 and needyH34, to slayH2873 such as be uprightH3477 in the wayH1870:

15Their swordH2719 shall enterH935 intoH935 their own heartH3820, and their bowsH7198 shall be brokenH7665.

16BetterH2896 is a littleH4592 that the righteousH6662 hath thanH2896 the abundanceH1995 of manyH7227 wickedH7563.

17For the armsH2220 of the wickedH7563 shall be brokenH7665: but the LORDH3068 upholdeth the righteousH6662.

18The LORDH3068 knoweth the daysH3117 of the perfectH8549: and their inheritanceH5159 shall be for everH5769.

19They shall notH3808 be ashamedH954 in the time of evilH7451: and in the daysH3117 of famineH7459 they shall be satisfiedH7646.

20But the wickedH7563 shall perishH6, and the enemiesH341 of the LORDH3068 shall be as the excellency of the pasturesH3733: they shall consumeH3615; in smokeH6227 shall they consumeH3615 awayH3615.
