37 ¶ Se yon sòm David. Pa fè kòlè lè ou wè mechan yo! Pa anvye sò moun k'ap fè mal yo!

Talè konsa, y'ap rache yo tankou raje. Yo gen pou yo fennen tankou zèb gazon.

Mete konfyans ou nan Seyè a, fè sa ki byen! Pran peyi a fè kay ou, viv ak kè poze!

Si se nan Seyè a ou pran tout plezi ou, l'a ba ou tou sa ou ta renmen.

Renmèt kòz ou nan men Seyè a! Mete konfyans ou nan li, l'a ede ou.

L'a fè jistis ou parèt aklè tankou yon limyè, l'a fè rezon ou parèt aklè tankou gwo solèy midi.

¶ Rete dousman dèvan Seyè a, pran san ou. Tann li fè sa l' gen pou l' fè a. Pa fè kòlè lè ou wè moun gen zafè yo ap mache byen. lè ou wè moun reyalize tout move lide yo gen nan tèt yo.

Pa fache, pa fè move san. Ou pa bezwen ennève! Sa kapab fè ou fè sa ki mal.

Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a va pran peyi a pou yo. Men, y'ap disparèt mechan yo.

10 Talè konsa, p'ap gen mechan ankò. W'a chache yo, ou p'ap jwenn yo.

11 Men, moun ki soumèt devan Bondye, yo pral resevwa pèyi a pou byen yo, y'a viv ak kè poze nèt ale.

12 Mechan yo ap fè konplo sou moun k'ap mache dwat yo. Y'ap gade yo konsa, yo anvi devore yo.

13 Seyè a ap ri mechan an, paske li konnen mechan an pa la pou lontan.

14 Mechan yo rale koulin yo, y'ap pare banza yo, pou yo touye pòv yo ak malere yo, pou ansasinen moun k'ap mache dwat yo.

15 Men, se yo menm menm koulin yo pral rache. Banza yo menm ap kase nan men yo.

16 Pito ou pa gen anpil byen, men ou mache dwat, pase pou ou gen anpil richès nan fè sa ki mal.

17 Paske, Bondye ap kraze kouraj mechan yo, men l'ap soutni moun ki mache dwat yo.

18 Seyè a konnen jan moun ki fè volonte l' yo ap viv. Eritaj yo la pou tout tan.

19 Yo p'ap wont lè bagay gate, y'ap jwenn tou sa yo bezwen lè grangou tonbe sou peyi a.

20 Men mechan yo ap peri. Moun ki pa vle wè Seyè a ap fennen tankou flè savann. Y'ap disparèt tankou lafimen.

21 ¶ Mechan an prete, li pa nan renmèt. Men, moun ki mache dwat yo gen kè sansib, yo fè kado.

22 Moun Seyè a beni va pran peyi a pou yo. Men, moun ki anba madichon Bondye gen pou disparèt sou tè a.

23 Seyè a pran men lèzòm, li mete yo nan bon chemen. Li kontan wè yo mache dwat.

24 Si yo tonbe, yo p'ap rete atè a. Paske Seyè a ap ba yo men.

25 Depi mwen timoun jouk mwen vin granmoun, mwen pa janm wè Bondye lage yon moun ki mache dwat, ni mwen pa janm wè pitit pitit li yo ap mande charite.

26 Okontrè, moun ki mache dwat l'a toujou gen kè sansib pou l' bay, pou li prete moun tou. Tout pitit pitit li yo tounen yon benediksyon pou lòt moun.

27 Pa fè mal, fè sa ki byen. W'a toujou gen yon kote nan peyi a pou ou rete.

28 Paske, Seyè a renmen moun ki mache dwat. Li pa lage moun ki kenbe fèm nan sèvis li. L'ap toujou pwoteje yo. Men, ras mechan yo gen pou disparèt.

29 Moun ki mache dwat gen pou pran peyi a pou yo. Y'ap rete nan peyi a tout tan tout tan.

30 Moun ki mache dwat devan Bondye bay bon konsèy. Se bon pawòl ase ki soti nan bouch li.

31 Li kenbe lalwa Bondye a fèm nan kè li, li p'ap janm bite.

32 Mechan an ap veye tout vire tounen moun k'ap mache dwat, l'ap chache jan pou l' touye l'.

33 Men, Seyè a p'ap lage l' nan men mechan an, li p'ap kite yo kondannen l' lè y'ap jije l'.

34 ¶ Mete konfyans ou nan Seyè a, fè tou sa l' mande ou fè. L'ap ba ou fòs pou ou ka pran peyi a pou ou. Ou gen pou wè mechan yo disparèt sou latè.

35 Mwen te wè yon mechan ki te fè tout moun pè li, li te kanpe tankou yon gwo pye mapou.

36 Apre sa, mwen tounen vin pase kote l' te ye a, li pa t' la. Mwen chache l', mwen pa janm wè l' ankò.

37 Gade moun k'ap mache dwat la byen gade. Gade tout vire tounen l'. Moun ki viv byen ak tout moun ap gen pitit ak pitit pitit.

38 Men, moun k'ap fè mal yo, y'ap rete konsa y'ap disparèt. Tout pitit ak pitit pitit yo ap disparèt tou.

39 Se Seyè a k'ap sove moun ki mache dwat yo. L'ap sèvi yo defans lè yo nan tray.

40 L'ap pote yo sekou, l'ap delivre yo. L'ap wete yo anba men mechan yo, paske se anba zèl li y' al chache pwoteksyon.

Psalm 37[a]

Of David.

Do not fret because of those who are evil
    or be envious(A) of those who do wrong;(B)
for like the grass they will soon wither,(C)
    like green plants they will soon die away.(D)

Trust in the Lord and do good;
    dwell in the land(E) and enjoy safe pasture.(F)
Take delight(G) in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.(H)

Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him(I) and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward(J) shine like the dawn,(K)
    your vindication like the noonday sun.

Be still(L) before the Lord
    and wait patiently(M) for him;
do not fret(N) when people succeed in their ways,(O)
    when they carry out their wicked schemes.(P)

Refrain from anger(Q) and turn from wrath;
    do not fret(R)—it leads only to evil.
For those who are evil will be destroyed,(S)
    but those who hope(T) in the Lord will inherit the land.(U)

10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;(V)
    though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land(W)
    and enjoy peace and prosperity.(X)

12 The wicked plot(Y) against the righteous
    and gnash their teeth(Z) at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
    for he knows their day is coming.(AA)

14 The wicked draw the sword(AB)
    and bend the bow(AC)
to bring down the poor and needy,(AD)
    to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,(AE)
    and their bows will be broken.(AF)

16 Better the little that the righteous have
    than the wealth(AG) of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,(AH)
    but the Lord upholds(AI) the righteous.

18 The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care,(AJ)
    and their inheritance will endure forever.(AK)
19 In times of disaster they will not wither;
    in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.

20 But the wicked will perish:(AL)
    Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field,
    they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.(AM)

21 The wicked borrow and do not repay,
    but the righteous give generously;(AN)
22 those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,
    but those he curses(AO) will be destroyed.(AP)

23 The Lord makes firm the steps(AQ)
    of the one who delights(AR) in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,(AS)
    for the Lord upholds(AT) him with his hand.

25 I was young and now I am old,
    yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken(AU)
    or their children begging(AV) bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely;(AW)
    their children will be a blessing.[b](AX)

27 Turn from evil and do good;(AY)
    then you will dwell in the land forever.(AZ)
28 For the Lord loves the just
    and will not forsake his faithful ones.(BA)

Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed[c];
    the offspring of the wicked will perish.(BB)
29 The righteous will inherit the land(BC)
    and dwell in it forever.(BD)

30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,(BE)
    and their tongues speak what is just.
31 The law of their God is in their hearts;(BF)
    their feet do not slip.(BG)

32 The wicked lie in wait(BH) for the righteous,(BI)
    intent on putting them to death;
33 but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked
    or let them be condemned(BJ) when brought to trial.(BK)

34 Hope in the Lord(BL)
    and keep his way.(BM)
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
    when the wicked are destroyed,(BN) you will see(BO) it.

35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
    flourishing(BP) like a luxuriant native tree,
36 but he soon passed away and was no more;
    though I looked for him, he could not be found.(BQ)

37 Consider the blameless,(BR) observe the upright;(BS)
    a future awaits those who seek peace.[d](BT)
38 But all sinners(BU) will be destroyed;(BV)
    there will be no future[e] for the wicked.(BW)

39 The salvation(BX) of the righteous comes from the Lord;
    he is their stronghold in time of trouble.(BY)
40 The Lord helps(BZ) them and delivers(CA) them;
    he delivers them from the wicked and saves(CB) them,
    because they take refuge(CC) in him.
