Psalms Chapter 37
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against
the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the
grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good;
so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight
thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine
heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall
bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the
light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait
patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in
his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease
from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do
evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the
LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the
wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place,
and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall
delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plotteth
against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The LORD shall
laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have
drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor
and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword
shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. A
little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many
wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD
upholdeth the righteous. The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and
their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the
evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the
wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat
of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. The
wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth
mercy, and giveth. For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the
earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. The steps of a
good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though
he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him
with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen
the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever
merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. Depart from evil, and
do good; and dwell for evermore. For the LORD loveth judgment, and
forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of
the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and
dwell therein for ever. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom,
and his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God is in his
heart; none of his steps shall slide. The wicked watcheth the
righteous, and seeketh to slay him. The LORD will not leave him in his
hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait on the LORD, and keep
his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked
are cut off, thou shalt see it. I have seen the wicked in great power,
and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and,
lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the
perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the
wicked shall be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous is of the
LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall
help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked,
and save them, because they trust in him.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. |
