Psalms 37
Reading Psalms chapter 37 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
1 By David. Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Also delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
6 he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.
