Salmo 37
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Kahihinatnan ng Masama at Mabuting Tao
37 Huwag kang mainis o mainggit man sa masasama,
2 dahil tulad ng damo, silaʼy madaling matutuyo,
at tulad ng sariwang halaman, silaʼy malalanta.
3 Magtiwala ka sa Panginoon at gumawa ng mabuti.
Sa gayon ay mananahan ka nang ligtas sa lupaing ito.
4 Sa Panginoon mo hanapin ang kaligayahan,
at ibibigay niya sa iyo ang ninanais mo.
5 Ipagkatiwala mo sa Panginoon ang lahat ng iyong ginagawa;
magtiwala ka sa kanya at tutulungan ka niya.
6 Ihahayag niya nang malinaw na ikaw ay matuwid at makatarungan,
kasingliwanag ng sinag ng araw sa katanghaliang tapat.
7 Pumanatag ka sa piling ng Panginoon,
at matiyagang maghintay sa gagawin niya.
Huwag mong kaiinggitan ang masasama na gumiginhawa,
kahit pa magtagumpay ang masasamang plano nila.
8 Huwag kang magagalit. Pigilan mo ang iyong poot.
Ni huwag kang mababalisa, dahil ito sa iyo ay makakasama.
9 Ang masama ay ipagtatabuyan,
ngunit ang nagtitiwala sa Panginoon ay mananatili sa lupaing ito.
10 Hindi magtatagal at mawawala ang masasama.
At kahit hanapin mo man sila ay hindi mo na makikita.
11 Ngunit ang mga mapagpakumbaba ay patuloy na mananahan sa lupain ng Israel nang mapayapa at masagana.
12 Ang mga masama ay nagpaplano ng hindi mabuti laban sa mga matuwid,
at galit na galit sila.
13 Ngunit tinatawanan lamang ng Panginoon ang mga masama,
dahil alam niyang malapit na ang oras ng paghahatol.
14 Binunot na ng masasama ang kanilang mga espada,
at nakaumang na ang kanilang mga pana
upang patayin ang mga dukha na namumuhay nang matuwid.
15 Ngunit sila rin ang masasaksak ng kanilang sariling espada
at mababali ang kanilang mga pana.
16 Ang kaunting tinatangkilik ng matuwid ay mas mabuti
kaysa sa kayamanan ng masama.
17 Dahil tutulungan ng Panginoon ang matuwid,
ngunit mawawalan ng kakayahan ang taong masama.
18 Araw-araw, inaalagaan ng Panginoon ang mga taong matuwid.
At tatanggap sila ng gantimpalang pangwalang hanggan.
19 Sa panahon ng kahirapan hindi sila malalagay sa kahihiyan.
Kahit na taggutom, magkakaroon pa rin sila ng kasaganaan.
20 Ngunit ang mga taong masamaʼy mamamatay.
Ang mga kaaway ng Panginoon ay mamamatay tulad ng bulaklak.
Silaʼy maglalaho na gaya ng usok.
21 Ang taong masama ay nangungutang pero hindi nagbabayad,
ngunit ang taong matuwid ay naaawa at nagbibigay ng sagana.
22 Ang mga pinagpapala ng Panginoon ay patuloy na titira sa lupain ng Israel.
Ngunit silang mga isinumpa niya ay palalayasin.
23 Ginagabayan ng Panginoon ang bawat hakbang ng taong matuwid na ang buhay ay nakakalugod sa kanya.
24 Matisod man siyaʼy hindi siya mabubuwal,
dahil hinahawakan siya ng Panginoon.
25 Akoʼy naging bata at ngayoʼy matanda na,
ngunit hindi ko pa nakita kahit kailan na ang matuwid ay pinabayaan ng Panginoon
o ang kanya mang mga anak ay namalimos ng pagkain.
26 Ang matuwid ay palaging nagbibigay at nagpapahiram,
at ang kanilang mga anak ay nagiging pagpapala sa iba.
27 Iwasan ang masama at gawin ang mabuti;
nang sa gayon ay manahan ka sa lupain magpakailanman.
28 Dahil ang nais ng Panginoon ay katarungan,
at ang mga taong tapat sa kanya ay hindi niya pinapabayaan.
Silaʼy iingatan niya magpakailanman.
Ngunit ang lahi ng mga taong masama ay mawawala.
29 Ang mga matuwid ay mananahan magpakailanman sa lupain ng Israel na sa kanilaʼy ipinamana.
30 Ang taong matuwid ay nagsasalita ng tama, at may karunungan.
31 Ang Kautusan ng Dios ay iniingatan niya sa kanyang puso,
at hindi niya ito sinusuway.
32 Ang mga taong masamaʼy laging nagbabantay
upang salakayin at patayin ang taong may matuwid na pamumuhay.
33 Ngunit hindi pababayaan ng Panginoon ang taong matuwid
sa kamay ng kanyang mga kaaway,
o parurusahan man kapag siyaʼy hinatulan.
34 Magtiwala ka sa Panginoon at sundin mo ang kanyang pamamaraan.
Pararangalan ka niya at patitirahin sa lupain ng Israel,
at makikita mong itataboy niya ang mga taong masama.
35 Nakita ko ang masamang tao na nang-aapi.
Gusto niyang kilalanin siyang mataas kaysa sa iba,
katulad ng mataas na punongkahoy ng Lebanon.
36 Nang siyaʼy aking balikan, siyaʼy wala na;
hinanap ko siya ngunit hindi ko na nakita dahil siyaʼy patay na.
37 Tingnan mo ang taong totoo at matuwid.
May magandang kinabukasan at may tahimik na pamumuhay.
38 Ngunit lilipulin ang lahat ng masama,
at ang kinabukasan nila ay mawawala.
39 Ang kaligtasan ng mga matuwid ay mula sa Panginoon.
Siya ang nag-iingat sa kanila sa panahon ng kaguluhan.
40 Tinutulungan sila ng Panginoon at inililigtas sa mga taong masama,
dahil silaʼy humihingi ng kanyang kalinga.

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)

The Heritage of the Righteous and the Calamity of the Wicked
A Psalm of David.
37 Do(A) not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down (B)like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4 (C)Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your (D)heart.
5 (E)Commit[a] your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
6 (F)He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord, (G)and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who (H)prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
8 (I)Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
(J)Do not fret—it only causes harm.
9 For evildoers shall be [b]cut off;
But those who wait on the Lord,
They shall (K)inherit the earth.
10 For (L)yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, (M)you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
11 (N)But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plots against the just,
(O)And gnashes at him with his teeth.
13 (P)The Lord laughs at him,
For He sees that (Q)his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn the sword
And have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay those who are of upright conduct.
15 Their sword shall enter their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.
16 (R)A little that a righteous man has
Is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
But the Lord upholds the righteous.
18 The Lord knows the days of the upright,
And their inheritance shall be forever.
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,
Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.
Into smoke they shall vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows and does not repay,
But (S)the righteous shows mercy and gives.
22 (T)For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth,
But those cursed by Him shall be [c]cut off.
23 (U)The steps of a good man are [d]ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.
24 (V)Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old;
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.
26 (W)He is [e]ever merciful, and lends;
And his descendants are blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good;
And dwell forevermore.
28 For the Lord loves justice,
And does not forsake His saints;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 (X)The righteous shall inherit the land,
And dwell in it forever.
30 (Y)The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,
And his tongue talks of justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart;
None of his steps shall [f]slide.
32 The wicked (Z)watches the righteous,
And seeks to slay him.
33 The Lord (AA)will not leave him in his hand,
Nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 (AB)Wait on the Lord,
And keep His way,
And He shall exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power,
And spreading himself like a native green tree.
36 Yet [g]he passed away, and behold, he was no more;
Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright;
For the future of that man is peace.
38 (AC)But the transgressors shall be destroyed together;
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their strength (AD)in the time of trouble.
40 And (AE)the Lord shall help them and deliver them;
He shall deliver them from the wicked,
And save them,
(AF)Because they trust in Him.
