Psalm 37

Instruction in Wisdom

Davidic.

1 Do[a] not be agitated by evildoers;
do not envy those who do wrong.(A)
2 For they wither quickly like grass
and wilt like tender green plants.(B)

3 Trust in the Lord and do what is good;(C)
dwell in the land and live securely.[b](D)
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and He will give you your heart’s desires.(E)

5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in Him, and He will act,(F)
6 making your righteousness shine like the dawn,
your justice like the noonday.(G)

7 Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Him;(H)
do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,
by the man who carries out evil plans.(I)

8 Refrain from anger and give up your rage;
do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.(J)
9 For evildoers will be destroyed,
but those who put their hope in the Lord
will inherit the land.[c](K)

10 A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;
though you look for him, he will not be there.(L)
11 But the humble will inherit the land[d](M)
and will enjoy abundant prosperity.(N)

12 The wicked person schemes against the righteous
and gnashes his teeth at him.(O)
13 The Lord laughs at him(P)
because He sees that his day is coming.(Q)

14 The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the[e] bow
to bring down the afflicted and needy
and to slaughter those whose way is upright.(R)
15 Their swords will enter their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.(S)

16 The little that the righteous man has is better
than the abundance of many wicked people.(T)
17 For the arms[f] of the wicked will be broken,(U)
but the Lord supports the righteous.(V)

18 The Lord watches over the blameless all their days,
and their inheritance will last forever.(W)
19 They will not be disgraced in times of adversity;
they will be satisfied in days of hunger.(X)

20 But the wicked will perish;
the Lord’s enemies, like the glory of the pastures,
will fade away—
they will fade away like smoke.(Y)

21 The wicked man borrows and does not repay,
but the righteous one is gracious and giving.(Z)
22 Those who are blessed by Him will inherit the land,[g]
but those cursed by Him will be destroyed.(AA)

23 A man’s steps are established by the Lord,
and He takes pleasure in his way.(AB)
24 Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed,
because the Lord holds his hand.[h](AC)

25 I have been young and now I am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned
or his children begging for bread.(AD)
26 He is always generous, always lending,
and his children are a blessing.(AE)

27 Turn away from evil and do what is good,
and dwell there[i] forever.(AF)
28 For the Lord loves justice
and will not abandon His faithful ones.(AG)
They are kept safe forever,
but the children of the wicked will be destroyed.(AH)
29 The righteous will inherit the land[j]
and dwell in it permanently.(AI)

30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom;
his tongue speaks what is just.(AJ)
31 The instruction of his God is in his heart;
his steps do not falter.(AK)

32 The wicked one lies in wait for the righteous
and seeks to kill him;(AL)
33 the Lord will not leave him
in the power of the wicked one
or allow him to be condemned when he is judged.(AM)

34 Wait for the Lord and keep His way,
and He will exalt you to inherit the land.
You will watch when the wicked are destroyed.(AN)

35 I have seen a wicked, violent man
well-rooted[k] like a flourishing native tree.(AO)
36 Then I passed by and[l] noticed he was gone;
I searched for him, but he could not be found.(AP)

37 Watch the blameless and observe the upright,
for the man of peace will have a future.[m](AQ)
38 But transgressors will all be eliminated;
the future[n] of the wicked will be destroyed.(AR)

39 The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord,
their refuge in a time of distress.(AS)
40 The Lord helps and delivers them;
He will deliver them from the wicked and will save them
because they take refuge in Him.(AT)

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。

Psalm 37
New International Version

Psalm 37[a]

Of David.

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

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

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

7 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)

8 Refrain from anger(Q) and turn from wrath;
    do not fret(R)—it leads only to evil.
9 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.
