| 37:1 |
|
| 37:2 |
For they will quickly be cut down like grass, and become dry like the green plants.
|
| 37:3 |
Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.
|
| 37:4 |
So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.
|
| 37:5 |
Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.
|
| 37:6 |
And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.
|
| 37:7 |
Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.
|
| 37:8 |
Put an end to your wrath and be no longer bitter; do not give way to angry feeling which is a cause of sin.
|
| 37:9 |
For the evil-doers will be cut off: but those who have faith in the Lord will have the earth for their heritage.
|
| 37:10 |
For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.
|
| 37:11 |
But the gentle will have the earth for their heritage; they will take their delight in peace without measure.
|
| 37:12 |
The sinner has evil designs against the upright, lifting up the voice of wrath against him.
|
| 37:13 |
He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.
|
| 37:14 |
The evil-doers have taken out their swords, their bows are bent; for crushing the poor, and to put to death those who are upright in their ways.
|
| 37:15 |
But their swords will be turned into their hearts, and their bows will be broken.
|
| 37:16 |
The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.
|
| 37:17 |
For the arms of the evil-doers will be broken: but the Lord is the support of the good.
|
| 37:18 |
The days of the upright are numbered by the Lord, and their heritage will be for ever.
|
| 37:19 |
They will not be shamed in the evil time, and in the days when all are in need of food they will have enough.
|
| 37:20 |
But the wrongdoers will come to destruction, and the haters of the Lord will be like the fat of lambs, they will be burned up; they will go up in smoke, and never again be seen.
|
| 37:21 |
The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.
|
| 37:22 |
Those who have his blessing will have the earth for their heritage; but those who are cursed by him will be cut off.
|
| 37:23 |
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way.
|
| 37:24 |
Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.
|
| 37:25 |
I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.
|
| 37:26 |
All the day he is ready to have mercy and to give; his children are a blessing.
|
| 37:27 |
Be turned from evil, and do good; and your place will be for ever.
|
| 37:28 |
For the Lord is a lover of righteousness, and takes care of his saints; they will be kept safe for ever; but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off.
|
| 37:29 |
The upright will have the earth for their heritage, and will go on living there for ever.
|
| 37:30 |
The mouth of the good man says words of wisdom; the talk of his tongue is of righteousness.
|
| 37:31 |
The law of his God is in his heart; he will never make a false step.
|
| 37:32 |
The sinners are watching the upright man, desiring to put him to death.
|
| 37:33 |
The Lord will not give him into their hands, or be against him when he is judged.
|
| 37:34 |
Be waiting for the Lord, and keep his way; and you will be lifted up, and have the land for your heritage: when the evil-doers are cut off, you will see it.
|
| 37:35 |
I have seen the evil-doer in great power, covering the earth like a great tree.
|
| 37:36 |
But he came to an end, and there was no sign of him; I made a search for him and he was not there.
|
| 37:37 |
Give attention to the good man, and take note of the upright; because the end of that man is peace.
|
| 37:38 |
But as for the sinners, they will be cut off together; the end of the wrongdoers is destruction.
|
| 37:39 |
But the Lord is the saviour of the upright: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
|
| 37:40 |
And the Lord will be their help, and keep them safe: he will take them out of the hands of the evil-doers, and be their saviour, because they had faith in him.
