| Psalms 37:1 | {[A Psalm] of David.} Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness; | A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath. | <Of David.> Do not be angry because of the wrongdoers, or have envy of the workers of evil. | By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity, |
| Psalms 37:2 | for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and fade as the green herb. | Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath. | For they will quickly be cut down like grass, and become dry like the green plants. | For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade. |
| Psalms 37:3 | Confide in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness; | For thy arrows are fastened in me : and thy hand hath been strong upon me. | Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness. | Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness, |
| Psalms 37:4 | and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart. | There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath : there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins. | So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires. | And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart. |

| Psalms 37:6 | and he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. | My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness. | And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun. | And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day. |
| Psalms 37:7 | Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass. | I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end : I walked sorrowful all the day long. | Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs. | Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices. |
| Psalms 37:8 | Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it [would be] only to do evil. | For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh. | Put an end to your wrath and be no longer bitter; do not give way to angry feeling which is a cause of sin. | Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil. |

| Psalms 37:11 | But the meek shall possess the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of prosperity. | My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me. | But the gentle will have the earth for their heritage; they will take their delight in peace without measure. | And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace. |
| Psalms 37:12 | The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth his teeth against him. | My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me.

| Psalms 37:13 | The Lord laugheth at him; for he seeth that his day is coming. | And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long. | He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming. | The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh. |

| Psalms 37:16 | The little that the righteous hath is better than the abundance of many wicked; | For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped : thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God. | The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers. | Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked. |
| Psalms 37:17 | for the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholdeth the righteous. | For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me : and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me. | For the arms of the evil-doers will be broken: but the Lord is the support of the good. | For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous. |
