Psalms 37
Psalms 37: 1-15
37 Fret (heat not thyself with vexation) not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity (transgressions).
to vex: make angry by little provocations, ie. to plague, torment, to agitate, to disturb
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust (confide, entrust, rest in) in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight (be pliable, be soft) thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires (petitions) of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust (confide, entrust, rest in) also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment (they complete vindication) as the noonday.
7 Rest (be silent, stand still) in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not (heat not thyself with vexation) thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices (wicked plans) to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth (land).
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord (Jehovah) shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 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 (upright in heart).
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Psalms 37:34-40
34 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.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
