Psalm 37

Patiently Trust in God

37Don't be angry because of those who do evil, do not be jealous because of those who commit iniquity.H1732H2734H7489H7065H6213H57662Indeed, they soon will wither like grass, and like green herbs they will fade away.H4120H5243H2682H5034H3418H18773Trust in the LORD and do good. Dwell in the land and feed on faithfulness.H982H3068H6213H2896H7931H776H530H74624Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.H6026H3068H5414H4862H38205Commit your way to the LORD; Trust him, and he will act.H1556H1870H3068H982H62136He will bring forth your righteousness as a light, and your justice as the noonday sun.H3318H6664H216H4941H66727Be silent in the the LORD's presence and wait patiently for him. Don't be angry because of the one whose way prospers or the one who implements evil schemes.37H1826H3068H2342H2734H6743H1870H376H6213H4209H62138Calm your anger and abandon wrath. Don't be angry?it only leads to evil.H7503H639H5800H2534H2734H389H74899Those who do evil will perish. But those who wait on the LORD will inherit the land.H7489H3772H6960H3068H3423H77610Yet a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more. You will search for his place, but he will not be there.H4592H7563H995H472511The humble will inherit the land; they will take in abundant peace.H6035H3423H776H6026H7230H796512The wicked person plots against the righteous, and grinds his teeth at him.H7563H2161H6662H2786H812713But the Lord laughs at him because he sees that his day is coming!H136H7832H7200H3117H93514The wicked take out a sword and bend the bow, to bring down the humble and the poor to slay those who are righteous in conduct.H7563H6605H2719H1869H7198H5307H6041H34H2873H3477H187015But their sword will pierce their own heart, and their bows will be broken!H2719H935H3820H7198H766516Better is the little that the righteous have than the abundance of many wicked people.H4592H6662H2896H1995H7227H756317For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.H2220H7563H7665H3068H5564H666218The LORD knows the day of the blameless, and their inheritance will last forever.H3068H3045H3117H8549H5159H576919They will not experience shame in times of trouble; in times of famine they will have plenty.H954H7451H6256H3117H7459H764620Indeed, the wicked will perish. The Lord's enemies will be consumed like flowers in the fields. They will vanish like smoke.H7563H6H341H3068H3368H3733H3615H6227H361521The wicked borrow but never pay back; but the righteous are generous and give.H7563H3867H7999H6662H2603H541422For those blessed by God will inherit the land, but those cursed by him will be cut off.H1288H3423H776H7043H377223A man's steps are established by the LORD, and the LORD delights in his way.H4703H1397H3559H3068H2654H187024Though he stumbles, he will not fall down flat, for the LORD will hold up his hand.H5307H2904H3068H5564H302725I once was young and now I am old, but I have not seen a righteous person forsaken or his descendants begging for bread.H5288H2204H7200H6662H5800H2233H1245H389926Every day he is generous, lending freely, and his descendants are blessed.H3117H2603H3867H2233H129327Depart from evil, and do good, and you will live in the land forever.H5493H7451H6213H2896H7931H576928Indeed, the LORD loves justice, and he will not abandon his godly ones. They are kept safe forever, but the lawless will be chased away, and the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.H3068H157H4941H5800H2623H8104H5769H2233H7563H377229The righteous will inherit the land, and they will dwell in it forever.H6662H3423H776H7931H570330The mouth of the righteous one produces wisdom; his tongue speaks justice.H6310H6662H1897H2451H3956H1696H494131The instruction of his God is in his heart; his steps will not slip.H8451H430H3820H838H457132The wicked stalks the righteous person, seeking to kill him,H7563H6822H6662H1245H419133but the LORD will not let him fall into his hands. He will not be condemned when he is put on trial.H3068H5800H3027H7561H819934Wait on the LORD, Keep faithful to his way, and he will exalt you to possess the land. You will see the wicked cut off.H6960H3068H8104H1870H7311H3423H776H7563H3772H720035I once observed a wicked and oppressive person, flourishing like a green tree in native soil.H7200H7563H6184H6168H7488H24936But then he passed away; in fact, he simply was not there. When I looked for him, he could not be found.H5674H1245H467237Observe the blameless! Take note of the upright! Indeed, the future of that man is peace.H8104H8535H7200H3477H319H376H796538Sinners will be destroyed together; the future of the wicked will be cut off.H6586H8045H3162H319H7563H377239But deliverance for the righteous one comes from the LORD; he is their strength in times of distress.H8668H6662H3068H4581H6256H686940The LORD helps and delivers them; he will deliver them from the wicked, and he will save them because they have sought refuge in him.H3068H5826H6403H6403H7563H3467H2620

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
