| Psalms 37:6 | And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, And thy justice as the noon-day. | My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness. | He will make your righteousness go forth as the light, And your justice as the noon day sun. | And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun. |
| Psalms 37:7 | Rest in Jehovah, 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. | I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end : I walked sorrowful all the day long. | Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him.

| Psalms 37:8 | Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself, [it tendeth] only to evil-doing. | For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh. | Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.
