Psalm 37

Leader // Cong.

//

Do not / be incensed at the // evildoers; Do not be envious of the workers // of wickedness. For like grass they shall // be quickly clipped; And like a green sprout // they wither.

Trust in // Yahweh and do good! Dwell in the land and graze // on truthfulness. And de- // light in Yahweh, And he will give you the desires // of your heart.

Roll onto Yahweh your way, And rely on him, and he himself // will do it. And he will bring out, like the // light, your righteousness, And your justice like // the noonday.

Be still for // Yahweh, and wait for him. // Do not be incensed at one who // prospers in his way; At one who does // what he plots.

Cease from anger // and abandon wrath. Do not be incensed, only to // do evil. For evildoers // will be cut off, But those who wait for Yahweh - they inher- // it the land.

And a little while and the // wicked is no more. And you will look carefully upon his place but he // will not be there. But the humble will in- // herit the land, And they will delight in the abun- // dance of peace.

//

The wicked schemes a- // gainst the righteous, And gnashes at him // with his teeth. My // Master laughs at him Because he sees that his day // is coming.

A sword the wicked have drawn And they // have bent their bow. To make the af- // flicted and needy fall, To slaughter the up- // right in the way. Their sword will enter // into their heart, And their bows will // be broken.

Better is a little // for a righteous man Than the wealth of man- // y wicked men. For the arms of the wicked // will be broken, But Yahweh upholds // the righteous.

Yahweh knows the // days of the blameless, And their inheritance will be // forever. They will not be shamed in a // time of evil. And in days of famine they will // be satisfied.

But the wicked - / they will perish, // And the enemies of Yahweh, like the verdant // vigor they vanish; In vapor // they vanish.

A wicked man borrows and // does not repay. But a righteous man is gra- // cious and gives. For those blessed of him will in- // herit the land But those cursed of him will // be cut off.

//

By Yahweh the steps of a young man // are established, And in his way // he delights. Though he will fall he will // not be thrown down, Because Yahweh supports // him by his hand.

A // youth I have been; Now // I am old. But I have not seen a righteous // man forsaken, Or his // seed begging bread. All day long he is // gracious and lends, And his seed is // for blessing.

Turn from // evil and do good And dwell // forever. For // Yahweh loves justice, And he does not abandon his kin- // devoted. Forever // they are guarded, But the seed of the wicked will // be cut off.

The righteous will in- // herit the land And dwell forever // upon it. The mouth of the righteous man // utters wisdom, And his tongue // speaks judgment. The instruction of // God is in his heart. His steps will // not waver.

Leader //

Cong.

//

The wicked are watching // for the righteous And are seeking // to kill him. Yahweh will not for- // sake him into his hand And will not condemn him in // his judgment.

Wait upon Yahweh and // he will guard your way. // And he will exalt you to in- // herit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you // will see it.

I have seen the wicked man, a // terrifying man, And spreading himself like a native // tree flourishing. And he disappeared and // look! he was not there. And I looked for him and he // was not found.

Observe the blameless man and // watch the upright, For there is a posterity for // the man of peace. But the rebels will be des- // troyed together. The posterity of the wicked will // be cut off.

But the salvation of the // righteous is from Yahweh, Their stronghold in the time // of distress. Yahweh helps them and delivers them. He delivers them // from the wicked, And saves them because they seek re- // fuge in him. Blessed be Yahweh, // God of Israel, From everlasting to ev- // erlasting. A // men, Yes, // Amen.
