Psalm 37

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (36-1) Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.

2 (36-2) For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.

3 (36-3) Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.

4 (36-4) Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.

5 (36-5) Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.

6 (36-6) And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

7 (36-7) Be subject to the Lord and pray to him. Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.

8 (36-8) Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.

9 (36-9) For evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the land.

10 (36-10) For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.

11 (36-11) But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.

12 (36-12) The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.

13 (36-13) But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come.

14 (36-14) The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.

15 (36-15) Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.

16 (36-16) Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.

17 (36-17) For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.

18 (36-18) The Lord knoweth the days of the undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19 (36-19) They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled:

20 (36-20) Because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.

21 (36-21) The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.

22 (36-22) For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse him shall perish.

23 (36-23) With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.

24 (36-24) When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth his hand under him.

25 (36-25) I have been young and now am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.

26 (36-26) He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing.

27 (36-27) Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.

28 (36-28) For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.

29 (36-29) But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.

30 (36-30) The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: and his tongue shall speak judgment.

31 (36-31) The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.

32 (36-32) The wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh to put him to death,

33 (36-33) But the Lord will not leave him in his hands; nor condemn him when he shall be judged.

34 (36-34) Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.

35 (36-35) I have seen the wicked highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.

36 (36-36) And I passed by, and lo, he was not: and I sought him and his place was not found.

37 (36-37) Keep innocence, and behold justice: for there are remnants for the peaceable man.

38 (36-38) But the unjust shall be destroyed to gether: the remnants of the wicked shall perish.

39 (36-39) But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in the time of trouble.

40 (36-40) And the Lord will help them and deliver them: and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them because they have hoped in him.

New Living Translation NLT

1 Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong.

2 For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither.

3 Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.

4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires.

5 Commit everything you do to the LORD . Trust him, and he will help you.

6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.

7 Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.

8 Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm.

9 For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the LORD will possess the land.

10 Soon the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone.

11 The lowly will possess the land and will live in peace and prosperity.

12 The wicked plot against the godly; they snarl at them in defiance.

13 But the Lord just laughs, for he sees their day of judgment coming.

14 The wicked draw their swords and string their bows to kill the poor and the oppressed, to slaughter those who do right.

15 But their swords will stab their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.

16 It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich.

17 For the strength of the wicked will be shattered, but the LORD takes care of the godly.

18 Day by day the LORD takes care of the innocent, and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever.

19 They will not be disgraced in hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough.

20 But the wicked will die. The LORD ’s enemies are like flowers in a field— they will disappear like smoke.

21 The wicked borrow and never repay, but the godly are generous givers.

22 Those the LORD blesses will possess the land, but those he curses will die.

23 The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.

24 Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand.

25 Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread.

26 The godly always give generous loans to others, and their children are a blessing.

27 Turn from evil and do good, and you will live in the land forever.

28 For the LORD loves justice, and he will never abandon the godly. He will keep them safe forever, but the children of the wicked will die.

29 The godly will possess the land and will live there forever.

30 The godly offer good counsel; they teach right from wrong.

31 They have made God’s law their own, so they will never slip from his path.

32 The wicked wait in ambush for the godly, looking for an excuse to kill them.

33 But the LORD will not let the wicked succeed or let the godly be condemned when they are put on trial.

34 Put your hope in the LORD . Travel steadily along his path. He will honor you by giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed.

35 I have seen wicked and ruthless people flourishing like a tree in its native soil.

36 But when I looked again, they were gone! Though I searched for them, I could not find them!

37 Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.

38 But the rebellious will be destroyed; they have no future.

39 The LORD rescues the godly; he is their fortress in times of trouble.

40 The LORD helps them, rescuing them from the wicked. He saves them, and they find shelter in him.
