Psalm 37

 ¹Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

 ²For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

 ³Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

 ⁴Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

 ⁵Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

 ⁶And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

 ⁷Rest 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.

 ⁸Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

 ⁹For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

 ¹⁰For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

 ¹¹But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

 ¹²The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

 ¹³The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

 ¹⁴The 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.

 ¹⁵Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

 ¹⁶A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

 ¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

 ¹⁸The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

 ¹⁹They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

 ²⁰But 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.

 ²¹The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

 ²²For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

 ²³The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

 ²⁴Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

 ²⁵I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

 ²⁶He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

 ²⁷Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

 ²⁸For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

 ²⁹The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

 ³⁰The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. (Psalm 37, King James Version)
