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 wither like 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 | Trust in Yahweh, and do good.

| Psalms 37:4 | Also delight yourself in Yahweh, And he will give you the desires of your 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 | He will make your righteousness go forth as the light, And your justice as the noon day sun. | 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 Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don't fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who makes wicked plots happen. | 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. Don't fret, it leads only to evildoing. | 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 humble shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. | 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 37:16 | Better is a little that the righteous has, 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 Yahweh upholds 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. |
