Psalms 37:8-26
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 37
8
Cease from anger and abandon wrath;
Do not get upset;
it leads
only to evildoing.
9
For evildoers will be eliminated,
But those who wait for the
Lord
, they will inherit the land.
10
Yet a little while and the wicked person will be no more;
And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be
there.
11
But the humble will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
12
The wicked plots against the righteous,
And gnashes at him with his teeth.
13
The Lord laughs at him,
For He sees that his day is coming.
14
The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow
To take down the afflicted and the needy,
To kill off those who are upright in conduct.
15
Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their bows will be broken.
16
Better is the little of the righteous
Than the abundance of many wicked.
17
For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
But the
Lord
sustains the righteous.
18
The
Lord
knows the days of the blameless,
And their inheritance will be forever.
19
They will not be ashamed in the time of evil,
And in the days of famine they will have plenty.
20
But the wicked will perish;
And the enemies of the
Lord
will be like the glory of the pastures,
They vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
21
The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous is gracious and gives.
22
For those blessed by Him will inherit the land,
But those cursed by Him will be eliminated.
23
The steps of a man are established by the
Lord
,
And He delights in his way.
24
When he falls, he will not be hurled down,
Because the
Lord
is the One who holds his hand.
25
I have been young and now I am old,
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
Or his descendants begging for bread.
26
All day long he is gracious and lends,
And his descendants are a blessing.
King James Version
Chapter 37
8
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the
Lord
, they shall inherit the earth.
10
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13
The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14
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.
15
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the
Lord
upholdeth the righteous.
18
The
Lord
knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20
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.
21
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
22
For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the
Lord
: and he delighteth in his way.
24
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the
Lord
upholdeth him with his hand.
25
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26
He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 37
8
Refrain from anger and give up your rage;
do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.
9
For evildoers will be destroyed,
but those who put their hope in the
Lord
will inherit the land.
10
A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;
though you look for him, he will not be there.
11
But the humble will inherit the land
and will enjoy abundant prosperity.
12
The wicked person schemes against the righteous
and gnashes his teeth at him.
13
The Lord laughs at him
because he sees that his day is coming.
14
The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the bow
to bring down the poor and needy
and to slaughter those whose way is upright.
15
Their swords will enter their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.
16
The little that the righteous person has is better
than the abundance of many wicked people.
17
For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
but the
Lord
supports the righteous.
18
The
Lord
watches over the blameless all their days,
and their inheritance will last forever.
19
They will not be disgraced in times of adversity;
they will be satisfied in days of hunger.
20
But the wicked will perish;
the
Lord
’s enemies, like the glory of the pastures,
will fade away—
they will fade away like smoke.
21
The wicked person borrows and does not repay,
but the righteous one is gracious and giving.
22
Those who are blessed by the
Lord
will inherit the land,
but those cursed by him will be destroyed.
23
A person’s steps are established by the
Lord
,
and he takes pleasure in his way.
24
Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed,
because the
Lord
supports him with his hand.
25
I have been young and now I am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned
or his children begging for bread.
26
He is always generous, always lending,
and his children are a blessing.
New Living Translation
Chapter 37
8
Stop being angry!
Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper —
it only leads to harm.
9
For the wicked will be destroyed,
but those who trust in the
Lord
will possess the land.
10
Soon the wicked will disappear.
Though you look for them, they will be gone.
11
The lowly will possess the land
and will live in peace and prosperity.
12
The wicked plot against the godly;
they snarl at them in defiance.
13
But the Lord just laughs,
for he sees their day of judgment coming.
14
The wicked draw their swords
and string their bows
to kill the poor and the oppressed,
to slaughter those who do right.
15
But their swords will stab their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.
16
It is better to be godly and have little
than to be evil and rich.
17
For the strength of the wicked will be shattered,
but the
Lord
takes care of the godly.
18
Day by day the
Lord
takes care of the innocent,
and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever.
19
They will not be disgraced in hard times;
even in famine they will have more than enough.
20
But the wicked will die.
The
Lord
’s enemies are like flowers in a field —
they will disappear like smoke.
21
The wicked borrow and never repay,
but the godly are generous givers.
22
Those the
Lord
blesses will possess the land,
but those he curses will die.
23
The
Lord
directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
24
Though they stumble, they will never fall,
for the
Lord
holds them by the hand.
25
Once I was young, and now I am old.
Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned
or their children begging for bread.
26
The godly always give generous loans to others,
and their children are a blessing.
