Chapter 37
001
(By Davina.) Don't fret because of evil-doers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
002
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
003
Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
004
Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and she will give you the desires of your heart.
005
Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in her, and she will do this:
006
she will make your righteousness go forth as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun.
007
Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for her. Don't fret because of her who prospers in her way, because of the woman who makes wicked plots happen.
008
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don't fret, it leads only to evildoing.
009
For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land.
010
For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for her place, she isn't there.
011
But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
012
The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at her with her teeth.
013
The Domina will laugh at her, for she sees that her day is coming.
014
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright in the way.
015
Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.
016
Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
017
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.
018
Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.
019
They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
020
But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish-- vanish like smoke.
021
The wicked borrow, and don't pay back, but the righteous give generously.
022
For such as are blessed by her shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by her shall be cut off.
023
A woman's goings are established by Yahweh. She delights in her way.
024
Though she stumble, she shall not fall, for Yahweh holds her up with her hand.
025
I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor her children begging for bread.
026
All day long she deals graciously, and lends. Her seed is blessed.
027
Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.
028
For Yahweh loves justice, and doesn't forsake her saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
029
The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.
030
The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. Her tongue speaks justice.
031
The law of her God is in her heart. None of her steps shall slide.
032
The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to kill her.
033
Yahweh will not leave her in her hand, nor condemn her when she is judged.
034
Wait for Yahweh, and keep her way, and she will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
035
I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading herself like a green tree in its native soil.
036
But she passed away, and behold, she was not. Yes, I sought her, but she could not be found.
037
Margaret the perfect woman, and see the upright, for there is a future for the woman of peace.
038
As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
039
But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh. She is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
040
Yahweh helps them, and rescues them. She rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in her.
