Salmo 37 Literal Standard Version

371 BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] Do not fret because of evildoers, || Do not be envious against doers of iniquity, 2 For they are cut off speedily as grass, || And fade as the greenness of the tender grass. 3 Trust in YHWH, and do good, || Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness, 4 And delight yourself on YHWH, || And He gives to you the petitions of your heart. 5 Roll your way on YHWH, || And trust on Him, and He works, 6 And has brought out your righteousness as light, || And your judgment as noon-day. 7 Be silent for YHWH, and stay yourself for Him, || Do not fret because of him || Who is making his way prosperous, || Because of a man doing wicked schemes. 8 Desist from anger, and forsake fury, || Do not fret yourself to only do evil. 9 For evildoers are cut off, || As for those waiting on YHWH, they possess the land. 10 And yet a little [while], and the wicked is not, || And you have considered his place, and it is not. 11 And the humble possess the land, || And they have delighted themselves || In the abundance of peace. 12 The wicked is devising against the righteous, || And gnashing his teeth against him. 13 The Lord laughs at him, || For He has seen that his day comes. 14 The wicked have opened a sword, || And they have bent their bow, || To cause the poor and needy to fall, || To slaughter the upright of the way. 15 Their sword enters into their own heart, || And their bows are shattered. 16 Better [is] the little of the righteous, || Than the store of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked are shattered, || And YHWH is sustaining the righteous. 18 YHWH knows the days of the perfect, || And their inheritance is for all time. 19 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, || And they are satisfied in days of famine. 20 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of YHWH, || Have been consumed as the preciousness of lambs, || They have been consumed in smoke. 21 The wicked is borrowing and does not repay, || And the righteous is gracious and giving. 22 For His blessed ones possess the land, || And His reviled ones are cut off. 23 The steps of a man [are] from YHWH, || They have been prepared, || And He desires his way. 24 When he falls, he is not cast down, || For YHWH is sustaining his hand. 25 I have been young, || I have also become old, || And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, || And his seed seeking bread. 26 All the day he is gracious and lending, || And his seed [is] for a blessing. 27 Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell for all time. 28 For YHWH is loving judgment, || And He does not forsake His saintly ones, || They have been kept for all time, || And the seed of the wicked is cut off. 29 The righteous possess the land, || And they dwell on it forever. 30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, || And his tongue speaks judgment. 31 The law of his God [is] his heart, || His steps do not slide. 32 The wicked is watching for the righteous, || And is seeking to put him to death. 33 YHWH does not leave him in his hand, || Nor condemn him in his being judged. 34 Look to YHWH, and keep His way, || And He exalts you to possess the land, || In the wicked being cut off—you see! 35 I have seen the wicked terrible, || And spreading as a green native plant, 36 And he passes away, and behold, he is not, || And I seek him, and he is not found! 37 Observe the perfect, and see the upright, || For the latter end of each [is] peace. 38 And transgressors were destroyed together, || The latter end of the wicked was cut off. 39 And the salvation of the righteous [is] from YHWH, || Their strong place in a time of adversity. 40 And YHWH helps them and delivers them, || He delivers them from the wicked, || And saves them, || Because they trusted in Him!
