Psalme 37

¹[A Psalme of Dauid.] Fret not thy selfe because of euill doers, neither bee thou enuious against the workers of iniquitie.

²For they shall soone be cut downe like the grasse; and wither as the greene herbe.

³Trust in the Lord, and do good, so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verely thou shalt be fed.

⁴Delight thy selfe also in the Lord; and he shall giue thee the desires of thine heart.

⁵Commit thy way vnto the Lord: trust also in him, and he shall bring it to passe.

⁶And he shall bring forth thy righteousnes as the light, and thy iudgement as the noone day.

⁷Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thy selfe because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked deuices to passe.

⁸Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thy selfe in any wise to doe euill.

⁹For euil doers shall be cut off: but those that waite vpon the Lord, they shall inherite the earth.

¹⁰For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not bee: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

¹¹But the meeke shall inherite the earth: and shall delight themselues in the abundance of peace.

¹²The wicked plotteth against the iust, and gnasheth vpon him with his teeth.

¹³The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is comming.

¹⁴The wicked haue drawen out the sword, and haue bent their bow to cast downe the poore and needy, and to slay such as be of vpright conuersation.

¹⁵Their sword shall enter into their owne heart, and their bowes shall be broken.

¹⁶A little that a righteous man hath, is better then the riches of many wicked.

¹⁷For the armes of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord vpholdeth the righteous.

¹⁸The Lord knoweth the dayes of the vpright: and their inheritance shall be for euer.

¹⁹They shall not be ashamed in the euill time: and in the dayes of famine they shalbe satisfied.

²⁰But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambes: they shall consume: into smoke shall they consume away.

²¹The wicked borroweth, and payeth not againe: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giueth.

²²For such as be blessed of him, shall inherite the earth: and they that be cursed of him, shalbe cut off.

²³The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

²⁴Though hee fall, he shall not be vtterly cast downe: for the Lord vpholdeth him with his hand.

²⁵I haue bene yong, and now am old; yet haue I not seene the righteous forsaken, nor his seede begging bread.

²⁶He is euer mercifull, and lendeth: and his seede is blessed.

²⁷Depart from euill, and doe good; and dwell for euermore.

²⁸For the Lord loueth iudgement, and forsaketh not his Saints, they are preserued for euer: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

²⁹The righteous shall inherite the land, and dwell therein for euer.

³⁰The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisedome; and his tongue talketh of iudgement.

³¹The Law of his God is in his heart: none of his steps shall slide.

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

³³The Lord will not leaue him in his hand, nor condemne him when he is iudged.

³⁴Wait on the Lord, and keepe his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

³⁵I haue seene the wicked in great power: and spreading himselfe like a greene bay tree.

³⁶Yet he passed away, and loe he was not: yea, I sought him, but hee could not be found.

³⁷Marke the perfect man, and behold the vpright: for the end of that man is peace.

³⁸But the transgressours shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shalbe cut off.

³⁹But the saluation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

⁴⁰And the Lord shall helpe them and deliuer them: he shall deliuer them from the wicked, and saue them because they trust in him.
