Psalms 37:5-17

Psalms 37:5-17 CSB

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act, making your righteousness shine like the dawn, your justice like the noonday. Be silent before the LORD and wait expectantly for him; do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way, by the person who carries out evil plans. Refrain from anger and give up your rage; do not be agitated — it can only bring harm. For evildoers will be destroyed, but those who put their hope in the LORD will inherit the land. A little while, and the wicked person will be no more; though you look for him, he will not be there. But the humble will inherit the land and will enjoy abundant prosperity. The wicked person schemes against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him. The Lord laughs at him because he sees that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the bow to bring down the poor and needy and to slaughter those whose way is upright. Their swords will enter their own hearts, and their bows will be broken. The little that the righteous person has is better than the abundance of many wicked people. For the arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD supports the righteous.

Psalms 37:5-17 - Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him, and he will act,
making your righteousness shine like the dawn,
your justice like the noonday.

Be silent before the LORD and wait expectantly for him;
do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,
by the person who carries out evil plans.

Refrain from anger and give up your rage;
do not be agitated — it can only bring harm.
For evildoers will be destroyed,
but those who put their hope in the LORD
will inherit the land.

A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;
though you look for him, he will not be there.
But the humble will inherit the land
and will enjoy abundant prosperity.

The wicked person schemes against the righteous
and gnashes his teeth at him.
The Lord laughs at him
because he sees that his day is coming.

The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the bow
to bring down the poor and needy
and to slaughter those whose way is upright.
Their swords will enter their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.

The little that the righteous person has is better
than the abundance of many wicked people.
For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
but the LORD supports the righteous.
