诗篇 37
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
义人和恶人的结局
大卫的诗。
37 不要因为恶人而烦恼，
也不要羡慕作恶之人，
2 因为他们如瞬息枯萎的草芥，
又如转眼消逝的绿草。
3 要信靠耶和华，要行善，
要在这片土地上安然度日。
4 要以耶和华为乐，
祂必成全你的愿望。
5 要把一切交托给耶和华，
信靠祂，祂必帮助你，
6 使你的公义如晨光照耀，
你的仁义如日中天。
7 要在耶和华面前安静，
耐心等候祂，
不要因恶人道路通达、阴谋得逞而愤愤不平。
8 你要抑制怒气，除掉愤怒；
不要心怀不平，
那会导致你作恶。
9 因为作恶的终必灭亡，
但等候耶和华的必承受土地。
10 再过片刻，恶人必不复存在，
无处可寻。
11 但谦卑人必承受土地，
得享太平。
12 恶人谋害义人，
对他们咬牙切齿。
13 但耶和华嗤笑邪恶人，
因为祂知道他们末日将临。
14 恶人拔剑张弓要消灭穷苦人，
杀戮正直人，
15 但他们的剑必刺穿自己的心，
他们的弓必被折断。
16 义人淡泊一生强过恶人财富如山。
17 因为恶人的势力终必瓦解，
耶和华必扶持义人。
18 耶和华天天看顾纯全无过的人，
他们的产业永远长存。
19 他们在灾难中不致绝望，
在饥荒时仍得饱足。
20 但恶人必灭亡，
上帝的仇敌必像野地枯萎的花草，
消逝如烟。
21 恶人借债不还，
义人慷慨给予。
22 蒙耶和华赐福的人必承受土地，
被耶和华咒诅的人必遭铲除。
23 耶和华引领义人的脚步，
喜悦他们所走的路。
24 他们即使失脚，也不会跌倒，
因为耶和华的手扶持他们。
25 从幼年到老年，
我从未见过义人遭弃，
也未见其后人讨饭。
26 他们乐善好施，
后代都蒙祝福。
27 你要离恶行善，
就必永远安居。
28 因为耶和华喜爱正义，
不丢弃信靠祂的人，
永远保护他们。
恶人的后代必被铲除。
29 义人必承受土地，
在地上永远安居。
30 义人口出智慧，诉说正义，
31 铭记上帝的律法，
从不失脚。
32 恶人窥探义人，
伺机谋害。
33 但耶和华不会让恶人得逞，
也不会让义人在审判时被定罪。
34 要等候耶和华，
坚守祂的道，
祂必赐你土地，使你有尊荣。
你必亲眼看见恶人被铲除。
35 我见过邪恶残暴之人，
乍看如葱茏的黎巴嫩香柏树，
36 再一看，
他已经消失得无影无踪，
无处可寻。
37 你看那纯全正直、爱好和平的人，
他们前途美好。
38 罪人必遭毁灭，
恶人必被铲除。
39 耶和华拯救义人，
患难时作他们的庇护所。
40 耶和华帮助他们，
拯救他们脱离恶人，
因为他们投靠祂。
诗篇 37
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
作恶者之危殆
37 大卫的诗。
1 不要为作恶的心怀不平，也不要向那行不义的生出嫉妒。
2 因为他们如草快被割下，又如青菜快要枯干。
3 你当倚靠耶和华而行善，住在地上，以他的信实为粮。
4 又要以耶和华为乐，他就将你心里所求的赐给你。
5 当将你的事交托耶和华，并倚靠他，他就必成全。
6 他要使你的公义如光发出，使你的公平明如正午。
7 你当默然倚靠耶和华，耐性等候他，不要因那道路通达的和那恶谋成就的心怀不平。
8 当止住怒气，离弃愤怒，不要心怀不平，以致作恶。
9 因为作恶的必被剪除，唯有等候耶和华的必承受地土。
10 还有片时，恶人要归于无有，你就是细察他的住处，也要归于无有。
11 但谦卑人必承受地土，以丰盛的平安为乐。
12 恶人设谋害义人，又向他咬牙。
13 主要笑他，因见他受罚的日子将要来到。
14 恶人已经弓上弦，刀出鞘，要打倒困苦穷乏的人，要杀害行动正直的人。
15 他们的刀必刺入自己的心，他们的弓必被折断。
16 一个义人所有的虽少，强过许多恶人的富余。
17 因为恶人的膀臂必被折断，但耶和华是扶持义人。
恃主者之安稳
18 耶和华知道完全人的日子，他们的产业要存到永远。
19 他们在急难的时候不致羞愧，在饥荒的日子必得饱足。
20 恶人却要灭亡，耶和华的仇敌要像羊羔的脂油[a]，他们要消灭，要如烟消灭。
21 恶人借贷而不偿还，义人却恩待人，并且施舍。
22 蒙耶和华赐福的必承受地土，被他咒诅的必被剪除。
23 义人的脚步被耶和华立定，他的道路耶和华也喜爱。
24 他虽失脚，也不至全身仆倒，因为耶和华用手搀扶他[b]。
25 我从前年幼，现在年老，却未见过义人被弃，也未见过他的后裔讨饭。
26 他终日恩待人，借给人，他的后裔也蒙福。
27 你当离恶行善，就可永远安居。
28 因为耶和华喜爱公平，不撇弃他的圣民，他们永蒙保佑，但恶人的后裔必被剪除。
29 义人必承受地土，永居其上。
30 义人的口谈论智慧，他的舌头讲说公平。
31 神的律法在他心里，他的脚总不滑跌。
32 恶人窥探义人，想要杀他。
33 耶和华必不撇他在恶人手中，当审判的时候，也不定他的罪。
34 你当等候耶和华，遵守他的道，他就抬举你，使你承受地土，恶人被剪除的时候，你必看见。
35 我见过恶人大有势力，好像一根青翠树在本土生发。
36 有人从那里经过，不料，他没有了；我也寻找他，却寻不着。
37 你要细察那完全人，观看那正直人，因为和平人有好结局。
38 至于犯法的人，必一同灭绝，恶人终必剪除。
39 但义人得救，是由于耶和华，他在患难时做他们的营寨。
40 耶和华帮助他们，解救他们。他解救他们脱离恶人，把他们救出来，因为他们投靠他。
Psalm 37
International Standard Version
Davidic[a]
Patiently Trust in God
37 Don’t be angry because of those who do evil,
do not be jealous because of those who commit iniquity.
2 Indeed, they soon will wither like grass,
and like green herbs they will fade away.
3 Trust in the Lord and do good.
Dwell in the land and feed on faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord;
Trust him, and he will act.
6 He will bring forth your righteousness as a light,
and your justice as the noonday sun.[b]
7 Be silent in the Lord’s presence
and wait patiently for him.
Don’t be angry because of the one whose way prospers
or the one who implements evil schemes.
8 Calm your anger and abandon wrath.
Don’t be angry—
it only leads to evil.
9 Those who do evil will perish.
But those who wait[c] on the Lord will inherit the land.
10 Yet a little while longer,
and the wicked will be no more.
You will search for his place,
but he will not be there.
11 The humble will inherit the land;
they will take in abundant peace.
12 The wicked person plots against the righteous,
and grinds his teeth at him.
13 But the Lord laughs at him
because he sees that his day is coming!
14 The wicked take out a sword and bend the bow,
to bring down the humble and the poor
to slay those who are righteous in conduct.
15 But their sword will pierce their own heart,
and their bows will be broken!
16 Better is the little that the righteous have
than the abundance of many wicked people.
17 For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous.
18 The Lord knows the day of the blameless,
and their inheritance will last forever.
19 They will not experience shame in times of trouble;
in times of famine they will have plenty.
20 Indeed, the wicked will perish.
The Lord’s enemies will be consumed like flowers[d] in the fields.
They will vanish like[e] smoke.
21 The wicked borrow but never pay back;
but the righteous are generous and give.
22 For those blessed by God[f] will inherit the land,
but those cursed by him will be cut off.
23 A man’s steps are established by the Lord,
and the Lord[g] delights in his way.
24 Though he stumbles,
he will not fall down flat,
for the Lord will hold up his hand.
25 I once was young and now I am old,
but I have not seen a righteous person forsaken
or his descendants begging for bread.
26 Every day he is generous, lending freely,
and his descendants are blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good,
and you will live in the land[h] forever.
28 Indeed, the Lord loves justice,
and he will not abandon his godly ones.
They are kept safe forever,
but the lawless will be chased away,[i]
and the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.
29 The righteous will inherit the land,
and they will dwell in it forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous one produces wisdom;
his tongue speaks justice.
31 The instruction[j] of his God is in his heart;
his steps will not slip.
32 The wicked stalks the righteous person, seeking to kill him,
33 but the Lord will not let him fall into his hands.
He will not be condemned when he is put on trial.
34 Wait on the Lord,
Keep faithful to his way,
and he will exalt you to possess the land.
You will see the wicked cut off.
35 I once observed a wicked and oppressive person,
flourishing like a green tree in native soil.
36 But then he[k] passed away;[l]
in fact, he simply was not there.
When I looked for him,
he could not be found.
37 Observe the blameless!
Take note of the upright!
Indeed, the future of that man is peace.
38 Sinners will be destroyed together;
the future of the wicked will be cut off.
39 But deliverance for the righteous one comes from the Lord;
he is their strength in times of distress.
40 The Lord helps and delivers them;
he will deliver them from the wicked,
and he will save them because they have sought refuge in him.

King James Version
37 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
