37:1   Don't be worried on account of the wicked; don't be jealous of those who do wrong.

37:2   They will soon disappear like grass that dries up; they will die like plants that wither.

37:3   Trust in the LORD and do good; live in the land and be safe.

37:4   Seek your happiness in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desire.

37:5   Give yourself to the LORD; trust in him, and he will help you;

37:6   he will make your righteousness shine like the noonday sun.

37:7   Be patient and wait for the LORD to act; don't be worried about those who prosper or those who succeed in their evil plans.

37:8   Don't give in to worry or anger; it only leads to trouble.

37:9   Those who trust in the LORD will possess the land, but the wicked will be driven out.

37:10   Soon the wicked will disappear; you may look for them, but you won't find them;

37:11   but the humble will possess the land and enjoy prosperity and peace.

37:12   The wicked plot against good people and glare at them with hate.

37:13   But the Lord laughs at wicked people, because he knows they will soon be destroyed.

37:14   The wicked draw their swords and bend their bows to kill the poor and needy, to slaughter those who do what is right;

37:15   but they will be killed by their own swords, and their bows will be smashed.

37:16   The little that a good person owns is worth more than the wealth of all the wicked,

37:17   because the LORD will take away the strength of the wicked, but protect those who are good.

37:18   The LORD takes care of those who obey him, and the land will be theirs forever.

37:19   They will not suffer when times are bad; they will have enough in time of famine.

37:20   But the wicked will die; the enemies of the LORD will vanish like wild flowers; they will disappear like smoke.

37:21   The wicked borrow and never pay back, but good people are generous with their gifts.

37:22   Those who are blessed by the LORD will possess the land, but those who are cursed by him will be driven out.

37:23   The LORD guides us in the way we should go and protects those who please him.

37:24   If they fall, they will not stay down, because the LORD will help them up.

37:25   I am old now; I have lived a long time, but I have never seen good people abandoned by the LORD or their children begging for food.

37:26   At all times they give freely and lend to others, and their children are a blessing.

37:27   Turn away from evil and do good, and your descendants will always live in the land;

37:28   for the LORD loves what is right and does not abandon his faithful people. He protects them forever, but the descendants of the wicked will be driven out.

37:29   The righteous will possess the land and live in it forever.

37:30   The words of good people are wise, and they are always fair.

37:31   They keep the law of their God in their hearts and never depart from it.

37:32   Wicked people watch good people and try to kill them;

37:33   but the LORD will not abandon them to their enemy's power or let them be condemned when they are on trial.

37:34   Put your hope in the LORD and obey his commands; he will honor you by giving you the land, and you will see the wicked driven out.

37:35   I once knew someone wicked who was a tyrant; he towered over everyone like a cedar of Lebanon;

37:36   but later I passed by, and he wasn't there; I looked for him, but couldn't find him.

37:37   Notice good people, observe the righteous; peaceful people have descendants,

37:38   but sinners are completely destroyed, and their descendants are wiped out.

37:39   The LORD saves the righteous and protects them in times of trouble.

37:40   He helps them and rescues them; he saves them from the wicked, because they go to him for protection.
