Psalm 37:title–11

A Psalm of David.

¹Do ^anot fret because of evildoers,

Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.

²For they shall soon be cut down ^blike the grass,

And wither as the green herb.

³Trust in the Lord, and do good;

Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

^4cDelight yourself also in the Lord,

And He shall give you the desires of your ^dheart.

^5eCommit ¹your way to the Lord,

Trust also in Him,

And He shall bring it to pass.

^6fHe shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,

And your justice as the noonday.

⁷Rest in the Lord, ^gand wait patiently for Him;

Do not fret because of him who ^hprospers in his way,

Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.

⁸ⁱCease from anger, and forsake wrath;

^jDo not fret—it only causes harm.

⁹For evildoers shall be ²cut off;

But those who wait on the Lord,

They shall ^kinherit the earth.

¹⁰For ^lyet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;

Indeed, ^myou will look carefully for his place,

But it shall be no more.

¹¹ⁿBut the meek shall inherit the earth,

And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
