The Psalms, starting at chapter 37
Psalm 37
By David.
{37:1} Don't fret because of evildoers,
neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
{37:2} For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither like the green herb.
{37:3} Trust in the LORD, and do good.
Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
{37:4} Also delight yourself in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
{37:5} Commit your way to the LORD.
Trust also in him, and he will do this:
{37:6} he will make your righteousness go forth as the light,
and your justice as the noon day sun.
{37:7} Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him.
Don't fret because of him who prospers in his way,
because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
{37:8} Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.
Don't fret, it leads only to evildoing.
{37:9} For evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
{37:10} For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more.
Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.
{37:11} But the humble shall inherit the land,
and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
{37:12} The wicked plots against the just,
and gnashes at him with his teeth.
{37:13} The Lord will laugh at him,
for he sees that his day is coming.
{37:14} The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,
to cast down the poor and needy,
to kill those who are upright in the way.
{37:15} Their sword shall enter into their own heart.
Their bows shall be broken.
{37:16} Better is a little that the righteous has,
than the abundance of many wicked.
{37:17} For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but the LORD upholds the righteous.
{37:18} The LORD knows the days of the perfect.
Their inheritance shall be forever.
{37:19} They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil.
In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
{37:20} But the wicked shall perish.
The enemies of the LORD shall be like the beauty of the fields.
They will vanish--
vanish like smoke.
{37:21} The wicked borrow, and don't pay back,
but the righteous give generously.
{37:22} For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land.
Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
{37:23} A man's goings are established by the LORD.
He delights in his way.
{37:24} Though he stumble, he shall not fall,
for the LORD holds him up with his hand.
{37:25} I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his children begging for bread.
{37:26} All day long he deals graciously, and lends.
His seed is blessed.
{37:27} Depart from evil, and do good.
Live securely forever.
{37:28} For the LORD loves justice,
and doesn't forsake his holy ones.
They are preserved forever,
but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
{37:29} The righteous shall inherit the land,
and live in it forever.
{37:30} The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom.
His tongue speaks justice.
{37:31} The law of his God is in his heart.
None of his steps shall slide.
{37:32} The wicked watches the righteous,
and seeks to kill him.
{37:33} The LORD will not leave him in his hand,
nor condemn him when he is judged.
{37:34} Wait for the LORD, and keep his way,
and he will exalt you to inherit the land.
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
{37:35} I have seen the wicked in great power,
spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
{37:36} But he passed away, and behold, he was not.
Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
{37:37} Mark the perfect man, and see the upright,
for there is a future for the man of peace.
{37:38} As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together.
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
{37:39} But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD.
He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
{37:40} The LORD helps them, and rescues them.
He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them,
Because they have taken refuge in him.
Psalm 38
A Psalm by David, for a memorial.
{38:1} LORD, don't rebuke me in your wrath,
neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
{38:2} For your arrows have pierced me,
your hand presses hard on me.
{38:3} There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation,
neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
{38:4} For my iniquities have gone over my head.
As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
{38:5} My wounds are loathsome and corrupt,
because of my foolishness.
{38:6} I am pained and bowed down greatly.
I go mourning all day long.
{38:7} For my waist is filled with burning.
There is no soundness in my flesh.
{38:8} I am faint and severely bruised.
I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
{38:9} Lord, all my desire is before you.

{37:8} Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.
Don't fret, it leads only to evildoing.
{37:9} For evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
{37:10} For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more.
Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.
{37:11} But the humble shall inherit the land,
and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
{37:12} The wicked plots against the just,
and gnashes at him with his teeth.
{37:13} The Lord will laugh at him,
for he sees that his day is coming.
{37:14} The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,
to cast down the poor and needy,
to kill those who are upright in the way.
{37:15} Their sword shall enter into their own heart.
Their bows shall be broken.
{37:16} Better is a little that the righteous has,
than the abundance of many wicked.
{37:17} For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but the LORD upholds the righteous.
{37:18} The LORD knows the days of the perfect.
Their inheritance shall be forever.
{37:19} They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil.
In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
{37:20} But the wicked shall perish.
The enemies of the LORD shall be like the beauty of the fields.
They will vanish--
vanish like smoke.
{37:21} The wicked borrow, and don't pay back,
but the righteous give generously.
{37:22} For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land.
Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
{37:23} A man's goings are established by the LORD.
He delights in his way.
{37:24} Though he stumble, he shall not fall,
for the LORD holds him up with his hand.
{37:25} I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his children begging for bread.
{37:26} All day long he deals graciously, and lends.
His seed is blessed.
{37:27} Depart from evil, and do good.
Live securely forever.
{37:28} For the LORD loves justice,
and doesn't forsake his holy ones.
They are preserved forever,
but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
{37:29} The righteous shall inherit the land,
and live in it forever.
{37:30} The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom.
His tongue speaks justice.
{37:31} The law of his God is in his heart.
None of his steps shall slide.
{37:32} The wicked watches the righteous,
and seeks to kill him.
{37:33} The LORD will not leave him in his hand,
nor condemn him when he is judged.
{37:34} Wait for the LORD, and keep his way,
and he will exalt you to inherit the land.
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
{37:35} I have seen the wicked in great power,
spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
{37:36} But he passed away, and behold, he was not.
Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
{37:37} Mark the perfect man, and see the upright,
for there is a future for the man of peace.
{37:38} As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together.
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
{37:39} But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD.
He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
{37:40} The LORD helps them, and rescues them.
He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them,
Because they have taken refuge in him.
Psalm 38
A Psalm by David, for a memorial.
{38:1} LORD, don't rebuke me in your wrath,
neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
{38:2} For your arrows have pierced me,
your hand presses hard on me.
{38:3} There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation,
neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
{38:4} For my iniquities have gone over my head.
As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
{38:5} My wounds are loathsome and corrupt,
because of my foolishness.
{38:6} I am pained and bowed down greatly.
I go mourning all day long.
{38:7} For my waist is filled with burning.
There is no soundness in my flesh.
{38:8} I am faint and severely bruised.
I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
{38:9} Lord, all my desire is before you.
My groaning is not hidden fr
