Textus Receptus Bibles
Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 37:1 | A Psalm of David. Do not inflame yourself with evildoers; and do not be envious against workers of perversity; |
| 37:2 | for they soon wither like grass and fade like the green herb. |
| 37:3 | Trust in Jehovah and do good; live in the land and feed on faithfulness. |
| 37:4 | And delight yourself in Jehovah, that He may give you your heart's desire. |
| 37:5 | Roll your way on Jehovah, and trust in Him; and He will work. |
| 37:6 | And He will bring forth your righteousness like the light; and your judgment like the noon day. |
| 37:7 | Rest in Jehovah and wait patiently for Him; inflame not yourself with him who prospers in his way, with the man practicing evil wiles. |
| 37:8 | Abstain from anger and cease from fury; also do not inflame yourself to do evil. |
| 37:9 | For evildoers shall be cut off; and the ones waiting on Jehovah, they shall inherit the earth. |
| 37:10 | It is but a little, and the wicked shall not be; yes, you shall search his place, and he is not. |
| 37:11 | But the meek shall inherit the earth, and they shall delight themselves in abundant peace. |
| 37:12 | The wicked plots against the righteous, and gnashes on him with his teeth; |
| 37:13 | the Lord laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming. |
| 37:14 | The wicked have drawn out the sword and they have trodden their bow, to cause the poor and needy to fall; to kill those who walk uprightly. |
| 37:15 | Their sword shall enter into their heart, and their bows shall be broken. |
| 37:16 | A little to the righteous is better than the abundance of many wicked. |
| 37:17 | For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but Jehovah upholds the righteous. |
| 37:18 | Jehovah knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever. |
| 37:19 | They shall not be ashamed in an evil time; and they shall be full in days of famine. |
| 37:20 | But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be like the beauty of pastures; they are consumed like smoke; they are consumed. |
| 37:21 | The wicked borrows and never repays, but the righteous is gracious and giving. |
| 37:22 | For His blessed ones inherit the earth, and those cursed by Him shall be cut off. |
| 37:23 | The steps of a man are ordered from Jehovah, and He will delight in his way. |
| 37:24 | Though he falls, he is not cast down; for Jehovah upholds his hand. |
| 37:25 | I have been young and am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, or his seed begging bread. |
| 37:26 | All the day long he is gracious and lends, and his seed is for a blessing. |
| 37:27 | Depart from evil and do good, and live forevermore. |
| 37:28 | For Jehovah loves judgment and does not forsake His saints; they are preserved forever; but the wicked's seed shall be cut off. |
| 37:29 | The righteous shall inherit the earth and live on it forever. |
| 37:30 | The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue speaks judgment. |
| 37:31 | The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slide. |
| 37:32 | The wicked spies on the righteous and seeks to kill him. |
| 37:33 | Jehovah does not leave him in his hand, nor allow him to be found guilty in his judgment. |
| 37:34 | Wait on Jehovah and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the earth; you shall see when the wicked are cut off. |
| 37:35 | I have seen the wicked ruthless, even spreading himself out like a luxuriant, native tree ; |
| 37:36 | yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not; and I looked for him, but he could not be found. |
| 37:37 | Watch the perfect and behold the upright one; for the end of that man is peace. |
| 37:38 | But the transgressors are destroyed together; the end of the wicked is cut off. |
| 37:39 | But the salvation of the righteous is from Jehovah; He is their strength in the time of distress. |
| 37:40 | And Jehovah helps them and delivers them; He shall deliver them from the wicked and save them, because they trust in Him. |
