­PSA 37:1  Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious

 against the workers of iniquity.

 

­PSA 37:2  For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the

 green herb.

 

­PSA 37:3  Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and

 verily thou shalt be fed.

 

­PSA 37:4  Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires

 of thine heart.

 

­PSA 37:5  Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring

 it to pass.

 

­PSA 37:6  And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy

 judgment as the noonday.

 

­PSA 37:7  Rest in the LORD, 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.

 

­PSA 37:8  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to

 do evil.

 

­PSA 37:9  For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the

 LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

 

­PSA 37:10  For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt

 diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

 

­PSA 37:11  But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves

 in the abundance of peace.

 

­PSA 37:12  The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his

 teeth.

 

­PSA 37:13  The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

 

­PSA 37:14  The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to

 cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

 

­PSA 37:15  Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall

 be broken.

 

­PSA 37:16  A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many

 wicked.

 

­PSA 37:17  For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth

 the righteous.

 

­PSA 37:18  The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance

 shall be for ever.

 

­PSA 37:19  They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of

 famine they shall be satisfied.

 

­PSA 37:20  But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as

 the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

 

­PSA 37:21  The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous

 sheweth mercy, and giveth.

 

­PSA 37:22  For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that

 be cursed of him shall be cut off.

 

­PSA 37:23  The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth

 in his way.

 

­PSA 37:24  Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD

 upholdeth him with his hand.

 

­PSA 37:25  I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous

 forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

 

­PSA 37:26  He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

 

­PSA 37:27  Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

 

­PSA 37:28  For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are

 preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

 

­PSA 37:29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

 

­PSA 37:30  The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh

 of judgment.

 

­PSA 37:31  The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

 

­PSA 37:32  The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

 

­PSA 37:33  The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is

 judged.

 

­PSA 37:34  Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to

 inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

 

­PSA 37:35  I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a

 green bay tree.

 

­PSA 37:36  Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he

 could not be found.

 

­PSA 37:37  Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that

 man is peace.

 

­PSA 37:38  But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the

 wicked shall be cut off.

 

­PSA 37:39  But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their

 strength in the time of trouble.

 

­PSA 37:40  And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver

 them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
