Psalms 37:17 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Don't worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong.
2 For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desires.
5 Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you.
6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
7 Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.
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.
27 Turn from evil and do good, and you will live in the land forever.
28 For the LORD loves justice, and he will never abandon the godly. He will keep them safe forever, but the children of the wicked will die.
29 The godly will possess the land and will live there forever.
30 The godly offer good counsel; they teach right from wrong.
31 They have made God's law their own, so they will never slip from his path.
32 The wicked wait in ambush for the godly, looking for an excuse to kill them.
33 But the LORD will not let the wicked succeed or let the godly be condemned when they are put on trial.
34 Put your hope in the LORD. Travel steadily along his path. He will honor you by giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed.
35 I have seen wicked and ruthless people flourishing like a tree in its native soil.
36 But when I looked again, they were gone! Though I searched for them, I could not find them!
37 Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.
38 But the rebellious will be destroyed; they have no future.
39 The LORD rescues the godly; he is their fortress in times of trouble.
40 The LORD helps them, rescuing them from the wicked. He saves them, and they find shelter in him. A psalm of David, asking God to remember him.
1 A Psalm of David. H1732 Fret not thyself H408 H2734 because of evildoers, H7489 neither H408 be thou envious H7065 against the workers H6213 of iniquity. H5766
2 For H3588 they shall soon H4120 be cut down H5243 like the grass, H2682 and wither H5034 as the green H3418 herb. H1877
3 Trust H982 in the LORD, H3068 and do H6213 good; H2896 so shalt thou dwell H7931 in the land, H776 and verily H530 thou shalt be fed. H7462
4 Delight thyself H6026 also in H5921 the LORD; H3068 and he shall give H5414 thee the desires H4862 of thine heart. H3820
5 Commit H1556 thy way H1870 unto H5921 the LORD; H3068 trust H982 also in H5921 him ; and he H1931 shall bring it to pass. H6213
6 And he shall bring forth H3318 thy righteousness H6664 as the light, H216 and thy judgment H4941 as the noonday. H6672
7 Rest H1826 in the LORD, H3068 and wait patiently H2342 for him : fret not thyself H408 H2734 because of him who prospereth H6743 in his way, H1870 because of the man H376 who bringeth wicked devices to pass H6213 H4209 .
8 Cease H7503 from anger H4480 H639 , and forsake H5800 wrath: H2534 fret not thyself H408 H2734 in any wise H389 to do evil. H7489
9 For H3588 evildoers H7489 shall be cut off: H3772 but those that wait upon H6960 the LORD, H3068 they H1992 shall inherit H3423 the earth. H776
10 For yet H5750 a little H4592 while , and the wicked H7563 shall not H369 be : yea , thou shalt diligently consider H995 H5921 his place, H4725 and it shall not H369 be .
11 But the meek H6035 shall inherit H3423 the earth; H776 and shall delight themselves H6026 in H5921 the abundance H7230 of peace. H7965
12 The wicked H7563 plotteth H2161 against the just, H6662 and gnasheth H2786 upon H5921 him with his teeth. H8127
13 The Lord H136 shall laugh H7832 at him: for H3588 he seeth H7200 that H3588 his day H3117 is coming. H935
14 The wicked H7563 have drawn out H6605 the sword, H2719 and have bent H1869 their bow, H7198 to cast down H5307 the poor H6041 and needy, H34 and to slay H2873 such as be of upright H3477 conversation. H1870
15 Their sword H2719 shall enter H935 into their own heart, H3820 and their bows H7198 shall be broken. H7665
16 A little H4592 that a righteous H6662 man hath is better H2896 than the riches H4480 H1995 of many H7227 wicked. H7563
17 For H3588 the arms H2220 of the wicked H7563 shall be broken: H7665 but the LORD H3068 upholdeth H5564 the righteous. H6662
18 The LORD H3068 knoweth H3045 the days H3117 of the upright: H8549 and their inheritance H5159 shall be H1961 forever. H5769
19 They shall not H3808 be ashamed H954 in the evil H7451 time: H6256 and in the days H3117 of famine H7459 they shall be satisfied. H7646
20 But H3588 the wicked H7563 shall perish, H6 and the enemies H341 of the LORD H3068 shall be as the fat H3368 of lambs: H3733 they shall consume; H3615 into smoke H6227 shall they consume away. H3615
21 The wicked H7563 borroweth, H3867 and payeth H7999 not H3808 again : but the righteous H6662 showeth mercy, H2603 and giveth. H5414
22 For H3588 such as be blessed H1288 of him shall inherit H3423 the earth; H776 and they that be cursed H7043 of him shall be cut off. H3772
23 The steps H4703 of a good man H1397 are ordered H3559 by the LORD H4480 H3068 : and he delighteth H2654 in his way. H1870
24 Though H3588 he fall, H5307 he shall not H3808 be utterly cast down: H2904 for H3588 the LORD H3068 upholdeth H5564 him with his hand. H3027
25 I have been H1961 young, H5288 and H1571 now am old; H2204 yet have I not H3808 seen H7200 the righteous H6662 forsaken, H5800 nor his seed H2233 begging H1245 bread. H3899
26 He is ever H3605 H3117 merciful, H2603 and lendeth; H3867 and his seed H2233 is blessed. H1293
27 Depart H5493 from H4480 evil, H7451 and do H6213 good; H2896 and dwell H7931 forevermore. H5769
28 For H3588 the LORD H3068 loveth H157 judgment, H4941 and forsaketh H5800 not H3808 H853 his saints; H2623 they are preserved H8104 forever: H5769 but the seed H2233 of the wicked H7563 shall be cut off. H3772
29 The righteous H6662 shall inherit H3423 the land, H776 and dwell H7931 therein H5921 forever. H5703
30 The mouth H6310 of the righteous H6662 speaketh H1897 wisdom, H2451 and his tongue H3956 talketh H1696 of judgment. H4941
31 The law H8451 of his God H430 is in his heart; H3820 none H3808 of his steps H838 shall slide. H4571
32 The wicked H7563 watcheth H6822 the righteous, H6662 and seeketh H1245 to slay H4191 him.
33 The LORD H3068 will not H3808 leave H5800 him in his hand, H3027 nor H3808 condemn H7561 him when he is judged. H8199
34 Wait H6960 on H413 the LORD, H3068 and keep H8104 his way, H1870 and he shall exalt H7311 thee to inherit H3423 the land: H776 when the wicked H7563 are cut off, H3772 thou shalt see H7200 it .
35 I have seen H7200 the wicked H7563 in great power, H6184 and spreading himself H6168 like a green H7488 bay tree. H249
36 Yet he passed away, H5674 and, lo, H2009 he was not: H369 yea , I sought H1245 him , but he could not H3808 be found. H4672
37 Mark H8104 the perfect H8535 man , and behold H7200 the upright: H3477 for H3588 the end H319 of that man H376 is peace. H7965
38 But the transgressors H6586 shall be destroyed H8045 together: H3162 the end H319 of the wicked H7563 shall be cut off. H3772
39 But the salvation H8668 of the righteous H6662 is of the LORD H4480 H3068 : he is their strength H4581 in the time H6256 of trouble. H6869
40 And the LORD H3068 shall help H5826 them , and deliver H6403 them : he shall deliver H6403 them from the wicked H4480 H7563 , and save H3467 them, because H3588 they trust H2620 in him.
