37:001

A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness

37:002

For they shall soon wither like the grass, and fade as the green herb

37:003

Trust in HaShem, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness

37:004

So shalt thou delight thyself in HaShem; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart

37:005

Commit thy way unto HaShem; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass

37:006

And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy right as the noonday

37:007

Resign thyself unto HaShem, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass

37:008

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing

37:009

For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait for HaShem, they shall inherit the land

37:010

And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more; yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not

37:011

But the humble shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace

37:012

The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth

37:013

The L-rd doth laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming

37:014

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way

37:015

Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken

37:016

Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked

37:017

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but HaShem upholdeth the righteous

37:018

HaShem knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever

37:019

They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied

37:020

For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of HaShem shall be as the fat of lambs--they shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away

37:021

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth

37:022

For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off

37:023

It is of HaShem that a man's goings are established; and He delighted in his way

37:024

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for HaShem upholdeth his hand

37:025

I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread

37:026

All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed

37:027

Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore

37:028

For HaShem loveth justice, and forsaketh not His saints; they are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off

37:029

The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever

37:030

The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh justice

37:031

The law of his G-d is in his heart; none of his steps slide

37:032

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him

37:033

HaShem will not leave him in his hand, nor suffer him to be condemned when he is judged

37:034

Wait for HaShem, and keep His way, and He will exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it

37:035

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a leafy tree in its native soil

37:036

But one passed by, and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found

37:037

Mark the man of integrity, and behold the upright; for there is a future for the man of peace

37:038

But transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off

37:039

But the salvation of the righteous is of HaShem; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble

37:040

And HaShem helpeth them, and delivereth them; He delivereth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in Him
