Psalm 37:7-20

⁷ Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices. ⁸ Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil. ⁹ For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land. ¹⁰ And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not. ¹¹ And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace. ¹² The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth. ¹³ The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh. ¹⁴ A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way. ¹⁵ Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered. ¹⁶ Better 'is' the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked. ¹⁷ For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous. ¹⁸ Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is—to the age. ¹⁹ They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied. ²⁰ But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.
