詩篇37章1- 11

 大衛的詩。

1 不要為作惡的心懷不平，也不要向那行不義的生出嫉妒。

2 因為他們如草快被割下，又如青菜快要枯乾。

3 你當倚靠耶和華而行善，住在地上，以他的信實為糧。

4 又要以耶和華為樂，他就將你心裡所求的賜給你。

5 當將你的事交託耶和華，並倚靠他，他就必成全。

6 他要使你的公義如光發出，使你的公平明如正午。

7 你當默然倚靠耶和華，耐性等候他，不要因那道路通達的和那惡謀成就的心懷不平。

8 當止住怒氣，離棄憤怒，不要心懷不平，以致作惡。

9 因為作惡的必被剪除，唯有等候耶和華的必承受地土。

10 還有片時，惡人要歸於無有，你就是細察他的住處，也要歸於無有。

11 但謙卑人必承受地土，以豐盛的平安為樂。

Of David.

1 Do not fret because of those who are evil

    or be envious of those who do wrong;

2 for like the grass they will soon wither,

    like green plants they will soon die away.

3 Trust in the Lord and do good;

    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Take delight in the Lord,

    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord;

    trust in him and he will do this:

6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,

    your vindication like the noonday sun.

7 Be still before the Lord

    and wait patiently for him;

do not fret when people succeed in their ways,

    when they carry out their wicked schemes.

8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;

    do not fret—it leads only to evil.

9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,

    but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;

    though you look for them, they will not be found.

11 But the meek will inherit the land

    and enjoy peace and prosperity.
