5
Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
6
He will make your righteousness go forth as the 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.
11
But the humble shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of shalom.
12
The wicked plots against the just, And gnashes at him with his teeth.
13
The Lord will laugh at him, For he sees 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, To kill those who are upright in the way.
15
Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.

Psalms 37:5-15 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 37
\\<<[A Psalm] of David>>\\. This psalm, it is very probable, was written at the same time, and upon the same occasion, with the former; and describes the different states of good and bad men; and is full of exhortations, instructions, and advice to the people of God; intermixed with various encouraging promises. A late learned writer {h} thinks it was written for Mephibosheth's consolation under Ziba's calumny. {h} Delaney's Life of King David, vol. 2. p. 219.
