37 A song of David.

37 Fret not over evildoers,

envy not the lawless;

2 soon like the grass they fade,

and wither like a green blade.

3 Trust in the Eternal and do right,

be loyal to him within his land;

4 make the Eternal your delight,

and he will give you all your heart’s desire.

5 Leave all to him, rely on him,

and he will see to it,

6 he will bring your innocence to light,

and make the justice of your cause clear as noonday.

7a Leave it to the Eternal and be patient,

fret not over the successful man,

14 who aims to slay the upright,

7b and carries out his wicked plan.

8 Cease your anger, give up raging,

fret not—it only leads to evil.

9 Evildoers shall be rooted out,

and the land left to those who wait for the Eternal.

10 A little longer, and the godless will be gone;

look in his haunts, and he is there no more!

11 The land will be left to the humble,

to enjoy plenteous prosperity.

12 The godless man makes plots against the good,

gnashing his teeth at them;

13 but the Eternal laughs at him,

knowing his doom is near.

14 The godless draw the sword,

and bend their bows for murder;

15 the sword runs into their own heart,

and their bows shall be broken!

16 The little that a good man has

is better than a godless man’s great wealth;

17 for the arms of the godless shall be broken,

but the Eternal will protect the good.

18 The fortunes of the upright are the Eternal’s care,

and their possessions last for ever;

19 in a calamity they keep their share,

in famine they have plenty.

20a The godless perish,

25c their families have to beg for food;

20b the foes of the Eternal disappear like fuel,

they disappear in smoke and vanish.

21 The godless never pays back what he borrows,

but the good man is charitable and gives.

22 Those who bless the Eternal, they shall own the land;

those who curse him shall be uprooted.

23 When a man’s life pleases the Eternal,

he gives him a sure footing;

24 he may fall, but he never falls down,

for the Eternal holds him by the hand.

25 I have been young and I am old,

but never have I seen good men forsaken;

26 they always have something to give away,

something wherewith to bless their families.

27 Shun evil and do good,

so shall you live your life within the land;

28 for the Eternal, who loves honesty,

never forsakes his faithful band.

The lawless shall be utterly destroyed,

the families of the godless shall be doomed;

29 the land is the possession of the good,

and all their days they shall dwell there.

30 The good man’s words are wise,

his talk is just;

31 the Eternal’s law is in his heart,

his footsteps never falter.

32 The godless man spies on the good,

seeking to have them put to death;

33 but the Eternal never leaves them in his power,

nor lets them be condemned when they are tried.

34 Wait for the Eternal, hold to him,

40 and he will save you from the godless;

34 he will advance you to possess the land

and to see godless men exterminated.

35 I saw a godless man once on a time, a terror—

towering like any cedar of Lebanon;

36 then, as I passed by, he was gone!

I looked for him—he was not to be found.

37 Hold to integrity, remain upright;

there is a future for the peaceable.

38 But sinners shall be wiped out at a blow;

the future for the godless is perdition.

39 Help comes from the Eternal to good men;

he is their refuge in the evil hour:

40a the Eternal relieves them and rescues them,

because they shelter beside him.
