Tehillim 37 תהילים ל״ז

Of David. Fret not thyself because of evil doers, nor be envious against the workers of iniquity.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.

Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and enjoy security.

Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thy heart.

Commit thy way to the Lord; trust also in him; and he will bring it to pass.

And he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment like the noonday.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who accomplishes wicked devices.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself: it comes to no good.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those who wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt look well at his place, but he will not be there.

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

The wicked man plots against the just, and grinds his teeth against him.

The Lord shall laugh at him: for he sees 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 are of upright ways.

Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked men.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholds the just.

The Lord knows the days of the innocent: 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 and the enemies of the Lord shall perish like the glory of the meadows; they shall consume; they shall pass away in smoke.

The wicked borrows, but does not pay back: but the righteous man gives with a good grace.

For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.

The steps of a man are ordered by the Lord: and he delights in his way.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen a just man forsaken, and his seed begging bread.

He lends generously at all times; and his seed is blessed.

Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

For the Lord loves justice, and forsakes not his pious ones; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it for ever.

The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue discourses justice.

The Tora of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall falter.

The wicked man watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.

The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor allow him to be condemned 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 tree in its native soil.

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: 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 are destroyed together: the end of the wicked is cut off.

And the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

And the Lord will help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they take refuge in him.
