37.28
- ד7Resign thyself unto the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
- Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,
- Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
- ה8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
- Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.
- 9For evil-doers shall be cut off;
- But those that wait for the Lord, they shall inherit the land.
- ו10And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more;
- Yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not.
- 11But the humble shall inherit the land,
- And delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
- ז12The wicked plotteth against the righteous,
- And gnasheth at him with his teeth.
- 13The Lord doth laugh at him;
- For He seeth that his day is coming.
- ח14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow;
- To cast down the poor and needy,
- To slay such as are upright in the way;
- 15Their sword shall enter into their own heart,
- And their bows shall be broken.
- ט16Better is a little that the righteous hath
- Than the abundance of many wicked.
- 17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken;
- But the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
- י18The Lord knoweth the days of them that are whole-hearted;
- And their inheritance shall be for ever.
- 19They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil;
- And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
- כ 20For the wicked shall perish,
- And the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs—
- They shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away.
- ל 21The wicked borroweth, and payeth not;
- But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
- 22For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land;
- And they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off.
- מ23It is of the Lord that a man's goings are established;
- And He delighted in his way.
- 24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
- For the Lord upholdeth his hand.
- נ25I have been young, and now am old;
- Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,
- Nor his seed begging bread.
- 26All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth;
- And his seed is blessed.
- ס27Depart from evil, and do good;
- And dwell for evermore.
- 28For the Lord loveth justice,
- And forsaketh not His saints;
- They are preserved for ever;
- But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
