Read Psalm 37
(Psa 37:1 KJV) <A Psalm
of David.> Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious
against the workers of iniquity.
(Psa 37:2 KJV) For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the
green herb.
(Psa 37:3 KJV) Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land,
and verily thou shalt be fed.
(Psa 37:4 KJV) Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the
desires of thine heart.
(Psa 37:5 KJV) Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall
bring it to pass.
(Psa 37:6 KJV) And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy
judgment as the noonday.
(Psa 37:7 KJV) Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself
because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked
devices to pass.
(Psa 37:8 KJV) Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise
to do evil.
(Psa 37:9 KJV) For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the
LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
(Psa 37:10 KJV) For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou
shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
(Psa 37:11 KJV) But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight
themselves in the abundance of peace.
(Psa 37:12 KJV) The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with
his teeth.
(Psa 37:13 KJV) The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is
coming.
(Psa 37:14 KJV) The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to
cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
(Psa 37:15 KJV) Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows
shall be broken.
(Psa 37:16 KJV) A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of
many wicked.
(Psa 37:17 KJV) For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD
upholdeth the righteous.
(Psa 37:18 KJV) The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance
shall be for ever.
(Psa 37:19 KJV) They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of
famine they shall be satisfied.
(Psa 37:20 KJV) But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall
be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
(Psa 37:21 KJV) The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous
sheweth mercy, and giveth.
(Psa 37:22 KJV) For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they
that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
(Psa 37:23 KJV) The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he
delighteth in his way.
(Psa 37:24 KJV) Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD
upholdeth him with his hand.
(Psa 37:25 KJV) I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the
righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
(Psa 37:26 KJV) He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
(Psa 37:27 KJV) Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
(Psa 37:28 KJV) For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they
are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
(Psa 37:29 KJV) The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for
ever.
(Psa 37:30 KJV) The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue
talketh of judgment.
(Psa 37:31 KJV) The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall
slide.
(Psa 37:32 KJV) The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
(Psa 37:33 KJV) The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he
is judged.
(Psa 37:34 KJV) Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to
inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
(Psa 37:35 KJV) I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself
like a green bay tree.
(Psa 37:36 KJV) Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but
he could not be found.
(Psa 37:37 KJV) Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of
that man is peace.
(Psa 37:38 KJV) But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of
the wicked shall be cut off.
(Psa 37:39 KJV) But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their
strength in the time of trouble.
(Psa 37:40 KJV) And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver
them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
