Mga Awit 37
Magandang Balita Biblia
Ang Kahihinatnan ng Masama at ng Mabuti
Katha ni David.
37 Huwag kang mabalisa dahil sa masama;
huwag mong kainggitan liko nilang gawa.
2 Katulad ng damo, sila'y malalanta,
tulad ng halaman, matutuyo sila.
3 Umasa ka sa Diyos, ang mabuti'y gawin,
at mananahan kang ligtas sa lupain.
4 Kay Yahweh mo hanapin ang kaligayahan,
at ang pangarap mo'y iyong makakamtan.
5 Ang iyong sarili'y sa kanya italaga,
tutulungang ganap kapag ika'y nagtiwala.
6 Ang kabutihan mo ay magliliwanag,
katulad ng araw kung tanghaling-tapat.
7 Sa harap ni Yahweh ay pumanatag ka, maging matiyagang maghintay sa kanya;
huwag mong kainggitan ang gumiginhawa,
sa likong paraan, umunlad man sila.
8 Huwag kang mapopoot ni mababalisa, iyang pagkagalit, iwasan mo sana;
walang kabutihang makakamtan ka.
9 Ang nagtitiwala kay Yahweh, mabubuhay, ligtas sa lupain at doon tatahan,
ngunit ang masama'y ipagtatabuyan.
10 Hindi magtatagal, sila'y mapaparam,
kahit hanapin mo'y di masusumpungan.
11 Tatamuhin(A) ng mga mapagpakumbaba, ang lupang pangako na kanyang pamana;
at sa lupang iyon na napakasagana, ang kapayapaa'y matatanggap nila.
12 Ang taong masama'y laban sa matuwid,
napopoot siyang ngipi'y nagngangalit.
13 Si Yahweh'y natatawa lang sa masama,
pagkat araw nila lahat ay bilang na.
14 Taglay ng masama'y pana at patalim,
upang ang mahirap dustai't patayin,
at ang mabubuti naman ay lipulin.
15 Ngunit sa sariling tabak mamamatay,
pawang mawawasak pana nilang taglay.
16 Higit na mabuti ang may kakaunti ngunit matuwid at walang kinakanti,
kaysa kayamanan nitong masasama, pagsamahin mang lahat, ito'y balewala.
17 Lakas ng masama ay aalisin,
ngunit ang matuwid ay kakalingain.
18 Iingatan ni Yahweh ang taong masunurin,
ang lupang minana'y di na babawiin.
19 Kahit na sumapit ang paghihikahos,
di daranasin ang pagdarahop.
20 Ngunit ang masama'y pawang mamamatay;
kalaban ni Yahweh, tiyak mapaparam, tulad ng bulaklak at mga halaman;
para silang usok na paiilanlang.
21 Anumang hiramin ng taong masama, di na ibabalik sa kanyang kapwa,
ngunit ang matuwid na puso'y dakila, ang palad ay bukás at may pang-unawa.
22 Lahat ng mga taong pinagpala ni Yahweh, lupang masagana, kanilang bahagi;
ngunit ang sinuman na kanyang sumpain, sa lupaing iyon ay palalayasin.
23 Ang gabay ng tao sa kanyang paglakad, ay itong si Yahweh, kung nais maligtas;
sa gawain niya, ang Diyos nagagalak.
24 Kahit na mabuwal, siya ay babangon,
pagkat si Yahweh, sa kanya'y tutulong.
25 Mula pagkabata't ngayong tumanda na,
sa tanang buhay ko'y walang nabalita na sa taong tapat, ang Diyos nagpabaya;
o ang anak niya'y naging hampaslupa.
26 Sa lahat ng oras, bukás pa ang palad sa pagkakaloob sa mga mahirap;
pagpapala'y laan ng kanilang mga anak.
27 Masama'y itakwil, mabuti ang gawin,
upang manahan kang lagi sa lupain.
28 Ang lahat ng taong wasto ang gawain,
ay mahal ni Yahweh, hindi itatakwil.
Sila'y iingatan magpakailanman,
ngunit ang masama ay ihihiwalay.
29 Ang mga matuwid, ligtas na titira,
at di na aalis sa lupang pamana.
30 Sa bibig ng matuwid namumutawi'y karunungan;
at sa labi nila'y pawang katarungan.
31 Ang utos ng Diyos ang laman ng puso,
sa utos na ito'y hindi lumalayo.
32 Ang taong masama'y laging nag-aabang,
sa taong matuwid nang ito'y mapatay;
33 ngunit hindi naman siya hahayaang mahulog sa kamay ng mga kaaway;
di rin magdurusa kahit paratangan.
34 Manalig ka kay Yahweh, utos niya'y sundin;
ikaw ay lalakas upang ang lupain ay kamtin,
at ang mga taksil makikitang palalayasin.
35 Ako'y may nakitang taong abusado,
itaas ang sarili ang kanyang gusto; kahoy sa Lebanon ang tulad nito.
36 Lumipas ang araw, ang aking napuna, nang ako'y magdaan, ang tao'y wala na;
hinanap-hanap ko'y di ko na makita.
37 Ang taong matuwid ay inyong pagmasdan,
mapayapang tao'y patuloy ang angkan.
38 Ngunit wawasaking lubos ang masama,
lahi'y lilipulin sa balat ng lupa.
39 Ililigtas ni Yahweh ang mga matuwid,
iingatan sila kapag naliligalig.
40 Sasaklolohan sila't kanyang tutulungan
laban sa masama, ipagsasanggalang;
sapagkat si Yahweh ang kanilang sandigan.
Psalm 37
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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)
