Psalm 37 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Psa 37:1By David. Don't fret because of evil-doers, Neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
Psa 37:2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither like the green herb.
Psa 37:3Trust in the LORD, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
Psa 37:4Also delight yourself in the LORD, And he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psa 37:5Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
Psa 37:6He will make your righteousness go forth as the light, And your justice as the noon day sun.
Psa 37:7Rest 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.
Psa 37:8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don't fret, it leads only to evildoing.
Psa 37:9For evildoers shall be cut off, But those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
Psa 37:10For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.
Psa 37:11But the humble shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of shalom.
Psa 37:12The wicked plots against the just, And gnashes at him with his teeth.
Psa 37:13The Lord will laugh at him, For he sees that his day is coming.
Psa 37:14The 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.
Psa 37:15Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.
Psa 37:16Better is a little that the righteous has, Than the abundance of many wicked.
Psa 37:17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, But the LORD upholds the righteous.
Psa 37:18The LORD knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.
Psa 37:19They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Psa 37:20But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of the LORD shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish -- Vanish like smoke.
Psa 37:21The wicked borrow, and don't pay back, But the righteous give generously.
Psa 37:22For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
Psa 37:23A man's goings are established by the LORD. He delights in his way.
Psa 37:24Though he stumble, he shall not fall, For the LORD holds him up with his hand.
Psa 37:25I have been young, and now am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his children begging for bread.
Psa 37:26All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His seed is blessed.
Psa 37:27Depart from evil, and do good; Live securely forever.
Psa 37:28For the LORD loves justice, And doesn't forsake his holy ones. They are preserved forever, But the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
Psa 37:29The righteous shall inherit the land, And live in it forever.
Psa 37:30The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.
Psa 37:31The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
Psa 37:32The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to kill him.
Psa 37:33The LORD will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.
Psa 37:34Wait for the LORD, and keep his way, And he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
Psa 37:35I have seen the wicked in great power, Spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
Psa 37:36But he passed away, and, behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Psa 37:37Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, For there is a future for the man of shalom.
Psa 37:38As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
Psa 37:39But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
Psa 37:40The LORD helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in him.
