Psalm 37
Of David.

³ Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

⁴ Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

⁵ Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:

⁶ He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

⁹ … but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

¹¹ But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.

¹⁷ … but the LORD upholds the righteous.

¹⁸ The days of the blameless are known to the LORD,  and their inheritance will endure forever.

¹⁹ In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.

²² those the LORD blesses will inherit the land

²³ If the LORD delights in a man’s way,  he makes his steps firm;

²⁴ though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

²⁵ I was young and now I am old,  yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.

²⁶ They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed.

²⁷ Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.

²⁸ For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever

²⁹ the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.

³⁰ The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just.

³¹ The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip.

³⁴ Wait for the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

³⁷ Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a future for the man of peace.

³⁹ The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.

⁴⁰ The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.
