Psalm 37

Leave off from wrath, and let go displeasure *

fret not thyself, else shalt thou be moved to do evil.

Wicked doers shall be rooted out *

and they that patiently abide the Lord, those shall inherit the land.

Yet a little while, and the ungodly shall be clean gone *

thou shalt look after his place, and he shall be away.

But the meek-spirited shall possess the earth *

and shall be refreshed in the multitude of peace.

The ungodly seeketh counsel against the just *

and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

The Lord shall laugh him to scorn *

for he hath seen that his day is coming.

The ungodly have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow *

to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as are of a right conversation.

Their sword shall go through their own heart *

and their bow shall be broken.

A small thing that the righteous hath *

is better than great riches of the ungodly.

For the arms of the ungodly shall be broken *

and the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
