Psalm 37:1-11

Legacy Standard Bible

37 ^(A)Do not fret because of evildoers,
Be not ^(B)envious toward doers of unrighteousness.
² For they will ^(C)wither quickly like the grass
And ^(D)fade like the green herb.

^3 (E)Trust in Yahweh and do good;
^(F)Dwell in the land and ^[a](G)cultivate faithfulness.
^4 (H)Delight yourself in Yahweh;
And He will ^(I)give you the desires of your heart.

^5 (J)Commit your way to Yahweh,
Trust in Him, and He will do it.
⁶ He will bring forth ^(K)your righteousness as the light
And your judgment ^(L)as the noonday.

⁷ Be still in Yahweh and ^(M)wait ^[b]patiently for Him;
^(N)Do not fret because of him who ^(O)prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out schemes of wickedness.

⁸ Cease from anger and ^(P)forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
⁹ For ^(Q)evildoers will be cut off,
But those who hope for Yahweh, they will ^(R)inherit the land.

¹⁰ Yet ^(S)a little while and the wicked man will be no more;
You will look carefully at ^(T)his place, and he will not be there.
¹¹ But ^(U)the lowly will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in ^(V)abundant peace.
