Psalm 37:1–11

¹Fret not thyself because of evil-doers,

Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.

²For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,

And wither as the green herb.

³Trust in Jehovah, and do good;

Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness.

⁴Delight thyself also in Jehovah;

And he will give thee the desires of thy heart.

⁵Commit thy way unto Jehovah;

Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.

⁶And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light,

And thy justice as the noonday.

⁷Rest in Jehovah, 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.

⁸Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:

Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.

⁹For evil-doers shall be cut off;

But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.

¹⁰For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:

Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the land,

And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
