¹(37) [A Psalm] of David. Fret not yourself because of evil-doers, neither be envious of them that do iniquity.

¹The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

²For they shall soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs.

²For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

³Hope in the Lord, and do good; and dwell on the land, and you shall be fed with the wealth of it.

³The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

⁴Delight [yourself] in the Lord; and he shall grant you the requests of your heart.

⁴He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

⁵Disclose your way to the Lord, and hope in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.

⁵Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

⁶And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noon-day.

⁶Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O Lord, thou preservest man and beast.

⁷Submit yourself to the Lord, and supplicate him: fret not yourself because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds.

⁷How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

⁸ease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself so as to do evil.

⁸They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

⁹For evil-doers shall be destroyed: but they that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the land.

⁹For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

¹⁰And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be, and you shall seek for his place, and shall not find [it].

¹⁰O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight [themselves] in the abundance of peace.

¹¹Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

¹²The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him.

¹²There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
