Psalms 37

1 A Psalme of David. Fret not thy selfe because of the wicked men, neither be enuious for the euill doers.

Of David - may not you fret yourself in the evil-doers may not you be jealous of [those who] do unrighteousness.

2 For they shall soone bee cut downe like grasse, and shall wither as the greene herbe.

For like grass quickly they will wither and like [the] greenery of vegetation they will fade!

3 Trust thou in the Lord and do good: dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed assuredly.

Trust in Yahweh and do good dwell [the] land and graze faithfulness.

4 And delite thy selfe in the Lord, and hee shall giue thee thine hearts desire.

And take delight on Yahweh so he may give to you [the] requests of heart your.

5 Commit thy way vnto the Lord, and trust in him, and he shall bring it to passe.

Roll on Yahweh way your and rely on him and he he will act.

6 And he shall bring foorth thy righteousnes as the light, and thy iudgement as the noone day.

And he will bring forth like the light righteousness your and justice your like the noontide.

7 Waite patiently vpon the Lord and hope in him: fret not thy selfe for him which prospereth in his way: nor for the man that bringeth his enterprises to passe.

Be still - to Yahweh and wait longingly for him may not you fret yourself in [one who] makes prosperous way his in a person [who] makes plots.

8 Cease from anger, and leaue off wrath: fret not thy selfe also to doe euill.

Refrain from anger and forsake rage may not you fret yourself only to do evil.

9 For euill doers shalbe cut off, and they that wait vpon the Lord, they shall inherite the land.

For evil-doers they will be cut off! and [those who] wait for Yahweh they they will possess [the] land.

10 Therefore yet a litle while, and the wicked shall not appeare, and thou shalt looke after his place, and he shall not be found.

And yet a little and there not [will be the] wicked and you will look carefully on place his and there not [will be] he.

11 But meeke men shall possesse the earth, and shall haue their delite in the multitude of peace.

And humble [people] they will possess [the] land and they will take delight on abundance of well-being.

12 The wicked practiseth against the iust, and gnasheth his teeth against him.

13 But the Lord shall laugh him to scorne: for he seeth, that his day is comming.

14 The wicked haue drawen their sworde, and haue bent their bowe, to cast downe the poore and needie, and to slay such as be of vpright conuersation.

A sword - they have drawn wicked [people] and they have bent bow their to make fall [the] poor and [the] needy to slaughter [people] upright of way.

15 But their sword shall enter into their owne heart, and their bowes shalbe broken.

Sword their it will go in own heart their and bows their they will be broken.

16 A small thing vnto the iust man is better, then great riches to the wicked and mightie.

[is] good [the] little Of the righteous more than [the] wealth of wicked [people] many.

17 For the armes of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord vpholdeth the iust men.

For [the] arms of wicked [people] they will be broken and [is] sustaining righteous [people] Yahweh.

20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be consumed as the fatte of lambes: euen with the smoke shall they consume away.

For wicked [people] - they will perish and [the] enemies of Yahweh [will be] like a splendid [thing] of pastures they will come to an end in smoke they will come to an end.

21 The wicked boroweth and payeth not againe. but the righteous is mercifull, and giueth.

22 For such as be blessed of God, shall inherite the lande, and they that be cursed of him, shalbe cut off.

23 The pathes of man are directed by the Lord: for he loueth his way.

26 But hee is euer mercifull and lendeth, and his seede enioyeth the blessing.

32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

33 But the Lord wil not leaue him in his hand, nor condemne him, when he is iudged.

Yahweh not he will abandon him in hand his and not he will condemn as guilty him when is judged he.

35 I haue seene the wicked strong, and spreading himselfe like a greene bay tree.

36 Yet he passed away, and loe, he was gone, and I sought him, but he could not be founde.
