Psalms 37
37
The Heritage of the Righteous and the Calamity of the Wicked
A Psalm of David.
1Do#Ps. 73:3; (Prov. 23:17; 24:19) not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2For they shall soon be cut down #Job 14:2; Ps. 90:5, 6; 92:7; James 1:11like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
3Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4#Job 22:26; Ps. 94:19; Is. 58:14Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your #Ps. 21:2; 145:19; (Matt. 7:7, 8)heart.
5#(Ps. 55:22; Prov. 16:3; 1 Pet. 5:7)Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
6#Job 11:17; (Is. 58:8, 10)He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.
7Rest in the Lord, #Ps. 40:1; 62:5; (Lam. 3:26)and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who #(Ps. 73:3–12)prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
8#(Eph. 4:26)Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
#Ps. 73:3Do not fret—it only causes harm.
9For evildoers shall be cut off;
But those who wait on the Lord,
They shall #Ps. 25:13; Prov. 2:21; (Is. 57:13; 60:21; Matt. 5:5)inherit the earth.
10For #(Heb. 10:37)yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, #Job 7:10; Ps. 37:35, 36you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
11#(Matt. 5:5)But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12The wicked plots against the just,
#Ps. 35:16And gnashes at him with his teeth.
13#Ps. 2:4; 59:8The Lord laughs at him,
For He sees that #1 Sam. 26:10; Job 18:20his day is coming.
14The wicked have drawn the sword
And have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay those who are of upright conduct.
15Their sword shall enter their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.
16#Prov. 15:16; 16:8; (1 Tim. 6:6)A little that a righteous man has
Is better than the riches of many wicked.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
But the Lord upholds the righteous.
18The Lord knows the days of the upright,
And their inheritance shall be forever.
19They shall not be ashamed in the evil time,
And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20But the wicked shall perish;
And the enemies of the Lord,
Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.
Into smoke they shall vanish away.
21The wicked borrows and does not repay,
But #Ps. 112:5, 9the righteous shows mercy and gives.
22#(Prov. 3:33)For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth,
But those cursed by Him shall be cut off.
23#(1 Sam. 2:9); Ps. 40:2; 66:9; 119:5The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.
24#Prov. 24:16Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
25I have been young, and now am old;
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.
26#(Deut. 15:8); Ps. 37:21He is ever merciful, and lends;
And his descendants are blessed.
27Depart from evil, and do good;
And dwell forevermore.
28For the Lord loves justice,
And does not forsake His saints;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
29#Ps. 37:9; Prov. 2:21The righteous shall inherit the land,
And dwell in it forever.
30#(Matt. 12:35)The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,
And his tongue talks of justice.
31The law of his God is in his heart;
None of his steps shall slide.
32The wicked #Ps. 10:8; 17:11watches the righteous,
And seeks to slay him.
33The Lord #Ps. 31:8; (2 Pet. 2:9)will not leave him in his hand,
Nor condemn him when he is judged.
34#Ps. 27:14; 37:9Wait on the Lord,
And keep His way,
And He shall exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35I have seen the wicked in great power,
And spreading himself like a native green tree.
36Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more;
Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
37Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright;
For the future of that man is peace.
38#(Ps. 1:4–6; 37:20, 28)But the transgressors shall be destroyed together;
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their strength #Ps. 9:9; 37:19in the time of trouble.
40And #Ps. 22:4; Is. 31:5; Dan. 3:17; 6:23the Lord shall help them and deliver them;
He shall deliver them from the wicked,
And save them,
#1 Chr. 5:20; Ps. 34:22Because they trust in Him.
