037:013 The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
037:014 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,
to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright
in the way.
037:015 Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows
shall be broken.
037:016 Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance
of many wicked.
037:017 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh
upholds the righteous.
037:018 Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance
shall be forever.
037:019 They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil.
In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
037:020 But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Yahweh shall
be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish--
vanish like smoke.
037:021 The wicked borrow, and don't pay back, but the righteous
give generously.
037:022 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land.
Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
037:023 A man's goings are established by Yahweh. He delights
in his way.
037:024 Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up
with his hand.
037:025 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen
the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
037:026 All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His seed is blessed.
037:027 Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.
037:028 For Yahweh loves justice, and doesn't forsake his saints.
They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked
shall be cut off.
037:029 The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.
037:030 The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom.
His tongue speaks justice.
037:031 The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
037:032 The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to kill him.
037:033 Yahweh will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when
he is judged.
037:034 Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way, and he will exalt
you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off,
you shall see it.
037:035 I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself
like a green tree in its native soil.
037:036 But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him,
but he could not be found.
037:037 Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future
for the man of peace.
037:038 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together.
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
037:039 But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh.
He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
037:040 Yahweh helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked,
and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in him.
038:001 <<A Psalm by David, for a memorial.>> Yahweh, don't rebuke me
