Psalms 37

David persuadeth to patience and confidence in God, by the different estate of the godly and the wicked.

 37:1 ¶ [[[A Psalm] of David.]] 1732 Fret y2734 z8691 not thyself x408 x2734 because of evildoers, 7489 z8688 neither x408 be thou envious 7065 z8762 against the workers 6213 z8802 of iniquity. 5766

 37:2 For x3588 they shall soon 4120 be cut down 5243 z8799 like the grass, 2682 and wither 5034 z8799 as the green 3418 herb. 1877

 37:3 Trust 982 z8798 in the LORD, 3068 and do 6213 z8798 good; 2896 [so] shalt thou dwell 7931 z8798 in the land, 776 and verily 530 thou shalt be fed. 7462 z8798

 37:4 Delight y6026 z8690 thyself x6026 also in x5921 the LORD; 3068 and he shall give 5414 z8799 thee the desires 4862 of thine heart. 3820

 37:5 Commit 1556 z8798 thy way 1870 unto x5921 the LORD; 3068 trust 982 z8798 also in x5921 him; and he x1931 shall bring [it] to pass. 6213 z8799

 37:6 And he shall bring forth 3318 z8689 thy righteousness 6664 as the light, 216 and thy judgment 4941 as the noonday. 6672

 37:7 Rest 1826 z8798 in the LORD, 3068 and wait patiently 2342 z8708 for him: fret y2734 z8691 not thyself x408 x2734 because of him who prospereth 6743 z8688 in his way, 1870 because of the man 376 who bringeth y6213 z0 wicked devices y4209 to pass. 6213 z8802 x4209

 37:8 Cease 7503 z8685 from anger, 639 x4480 and forsake 5800 z8798 wrath: 2534 fret y2734 z8691 not thyself x408 x2734 in any wise 389 to do evil. 7489 z8687

 37:9 For x3588 evildoers 7489 z8688 shall be cut off: 3772 z8735 but those that wait y6960 z8802 upon x6960 the LORD, 3068 they x1992 shall inherit 3423 z8799 the earth. 776

 37:10 For yet x5750 a little x4592 while, y4592 and the wicked 7563 [shall] not x369 [be]: yea, thou shalt diligently consider 995 z8712 x5921 his place, 4725 and it [shall] not x369 [be].

 37:11 But the meek 6035 shall inherit 3423 z8799 the earth; 776 and shall delight y6026 z8694 themselves x6026 in x5921 the abundance 7230 of peace. 7965

 37:12 The wicked 7563 plotteth 2161 z8802 against the just, 6662 and gnasheth 2786 z8802 upon x5921 him with his teeth. 8127

 37:13 The Lord 136 shall laugh 7832 z8799 at him: for x3588 he seeth 7200 z8804 that x3588 his day 3117 is coming. 935 z8799

 37:14 The wicked 7563 have drawn out 6605 z8804 the sword, 2719 and have bent 1869 z8804 their bow, 7198 to cast down 5307 z8687 the poor 6041 and needy, 34 [and] to slay 2873 z8800 such as be of upright 3477 conversation. 1870

 37:15 Their sword 2719 shall enter 935 z8799 into their own heart, 3820 and their bows 7198 shall be broken. 7665 z8735

 37:16 A little 4592 that a righteous x6662 man y6662 hath [is] better 2896 than the riches 1995 x4480 of many 7227 wicked. 7563

 37:17 For x3588 the arms 2220 of the wicked 7563 shall be broken: 7665 z8735 but the LORD 3068 upholdeth 5564 z8802 the righteous. 6662

 37:18 The LORD 3068 knoweth 3045 z8802 the days 3117 of the upright: 8549 and their inheritance 5159 shall be x1961 for ever. 5769

 37:19 They shall not x3808 be ashamed 954 z8799 in the evil 7451 time: 6256 and in the days 3117 of famine 7459 they shall be satisfied. 7646 z8799

 37:20 But x3588 the wicked 7563 shall perish, 6 z8799 and the enemies 341 z8802 of the LORD 3068 [shall be] as the fat 3368 of lambs: 3733 they shall consume; 3615 z8804 into smoke 6227 shall they consume away. 3615 z8804

 37:21 The wicked 7563 borroweth, 3867 z8801 and payeth x7999 not x3808 again: y7999 z8762 but the righteous 6662 sheweth mercy, 2603 z8802 and giveth. 5414 z8802

 37:22 For x3588 [such as be] blessed 1288 z8794 of him shall inherit 3423 z8799 the earth; 776 and [they that be] cursed 7043 z8794 of him shall be cut off. 3772 z8735

 37:23 The steps 4703 of a [good] man 1397 are ordered 3559 z8797 by the LORD: 3068 x4480 and he delighteth 2654 z8799 in his way. 1870

 37:24 Though x3588 he fall, 5307 z8799 he shall not x3808 be utterly cast down: 2904 z8714 for x3588 the LORD 3068 upholdeth 5564 z8802 [him with] his hand. 3027

 37:25 I have been x1961 young, 5288 and x1571 [now] am old; 2204 z8804 yet have I not x3808 seen 7200 z8804 the righteous 6662 forsaken, 5800 z8737 nor his seed 2233 begging 1245 z8764 bread. 3899

 37:26 [He is] ever 3117 x3605 merciful, 2603 z8802 and lendeth; 3867 z8688 and his seed 2233 [is] blessed. 1293

 37:27 Depart 5493 z8798 from x4480 evil, 7451 and do 6213 z8798 good; 2896 and dwell 7931 z8798 for evermore. 5769

 37:28 For x3588 the LORD 3068 loveth 157 z8802 judgment, 4941 and forsaketh 5800 z8799 not x3808 x853 his saints; 2623 they are preserved 8104 z8738 for ever: 5769 but the seed 2233 of the wicked 7563 shall be cut off. 3772 z8738

 37:29 The righteous 6662 shall inherit 3423 z8799 the land, 776 and dwell 7931 z8799 therein x5921 for ever. 5703

 37:30 The mouth 6310 of the righteous 6662 speaketh 1897 z8799 wisdom, 2451 and his tongue 3956 talketh 1696 z8762 of judgment. 4941

 37:31 The law 8451 of his God 430 [is] in his heart; 3820 none x3808 of his steps 838 shall slide. 4571 z8799

 37:32 The wicked 7563 watcheth 6822 z8802 the righteous, 6662 and seeketh 1245 z8764 to slay 4191 z8687 him.

 37:33 The LORD 3068 will not x3808 leave 5800 z8799 him in his hand, 3027 nor x3808 condemn 7561 z8686 him when he is judged. 8199 z8736

 37:34 Wait 6960 z8761 on x413 the LORD, 3068 and keep 8104 z8798 his way, 1870 and he shall exalt 7311 z8787 thee to inherit 3423 z8800 the land: 776 when the wicked 7563 are cut off, 3772 z8736 thou shalt see 7200 z8799 [it].

 37:35 I have seen 7200 z8804 the wicked 7563 in great power, 6184 and spreading y6168 z8693 himself x6168 like a green 7488 bay tree. 249

 37:36 Yet he passed away, 5674 z8799 and, lo, x2009 he [was] not: x369 yea, I sought 1245 z8762 him, but he could not x3808 be found. 4672 z8738

 37:37 Mark 8104 z8798 the perfect 8535 [man], and behold 7200 z8798 the upright: 3477 for x3588 the end 319 of [that] man 376 [is] peace. 7965

 37:38 But the transgressors 6586 z8802 shall be destroyed 8045 z8738 together: 3162 the end 319 of the wicked 7563 shall be cut off. 3772 z8738

 37:39 But the salvation 8668 of the righteous 6662 [is] of the LORD: 3068 x4480 [he is] their strength 4581 in the time 6256 of trouble. 6869

 37:40 And the LORD 3068 shall help 5826 z8799 them, and deliver 6403 z8762 them: he shall deliver 6403 z8762 them from the wicked, 7563 x4480 and save 3467 z8686 them, because x3588 they trust 2620 z8804 in him.
