Mga Awit 37
Ang Biblia, 2001
Awit ni David.
37 Huwag kang mabalisa dahil sa masasama,
huwag kang managhili sa mga masama ang gawa!
2 Sapagkat gaya ng damo sila'y dagling maglalaho,
at gaya ng luntiang halaman, sila'y matutuyo.
3 Magtiwala ka sa Panginoon, at gumawa ka ng kabutihan;
upang ikaw ay makapanirahan sa lupain at magtamasa ng katiwasayan.
4 Sa Panginoon ikaw ay magpakaligaya,
at ang mga nasa ng iyong puso sa iyo'y ibibigay niya.
5 Ipagkatiwala mo ang iyong lakad sa Panginoon;
magtiwala ka sa kanya, at siya'y gagawa.
6 Ang iyong pagiging walang-sala ay pakikinangin niyang gaya ng liwanag,
at ang iyong pagiging matuwid na gaya ng katanghaliang-tapat.
7 Ikaw ay manahimik sa Panginoon, at matiyaga kang maghintay sa kanya:
huwag kang mabalisa sa gumiginhawa sa lakad niya,
dahil sa taong nagsasagawa ng masamang pakana.
8 Iwasan mo ang pagkagalit, at ang poot ay iyong talikdan!
Huwag kang maghimutok, ito'y maghahatid lamang sa kasamaan.
9 Sapagkat ang masasama ay tatanggalin;
ngunit ang naghihintay sa Panginoon ay magmamana ng lupain.
10 Gayunma'y sandali na lamang, at ang masama ay mawawala na;
kahit tingnan mong mabuti ang kanyang lugar, siya ay wala roon.
11 Ngunit(A) mamanahin ng maaamo ang lupain,
at masisiyahan ang kanilang sarili sa lubos na kasaganaan.
12 Ang masama ay nagpapakana laban sa matuwid,
at ang mga ngipin nito sa kanya'y pinagngangalit;
13 ngunit pinagtatawanan ng Panginoon ang masama,
sapagkat kanyang nakikita na dumarating ang araw niya.
14 Hinuhugot ng masama ang tabak at ang kanilang mga pana ay iniaakma,
upang ang dukha at nangangailangan ay pabagsakin,
upang ang mga lumalakad nang matuwid ay patayin;
15 ang kanilang tabak ay tatarak sa sariling puso nila,
at mababali ang kanilang mga pana.
16 Mas mainam ang kaunti na mayroon ang matuwid na tao,
kaysa kasaganaan ng maraming taong lilo.
17 Sapagkat ang mga bisig ng masasama ay mababali;
ngunit inaalalayan ng Panginoon ang matuwid.
18 Nalalaman ng Panginoon ang mga araw ng mga walang kapintasan,
at ang kanilang mana ay mananatili magpakailanman.
19 Hindi sila mapapahiya sa panahon ng kasamaan;
sa mga araw ng taggutom ay mayroon silang kasaganaan.
20 Ngunit ang masama ay mamamatay,
ang mga kaaway ng Panginoon ay gaya ng luwalhati ng mga pastulan,
sila'y nawawala—gaya ng usok sila'y napaparam.
21 Ang masama ay humihiram, at hindi makapagbayad,
ngunit ang matuwid ay bukas-palad at nagbibigay;
22 sapagkat ang mga pinagpala ng Panginoon ay magmamana ng lupain;
ngunit ang mga sinumpa niya ay tatanggalin.
23 Ang mga lakad ng isang tao ay ang Panginoon ang nagtatatag;
at siya'y nasisiyahan sa kanyang lakad;
24 bagaman siya'y mahulog, hindi siya lubos na mabubuwal,
sapagkat ang Panginoon ang aalalay sa kanyang kamay.
25 Ako'y naging bata, at ngayo'y matanda na;
gayunma'y hindi ko nakita na ang matuwid ay pinabayaan,
ni ang kanyang mga anak ay namamalimos ng tinapay.
26 Siya ay laging mapagbigay at nagpapahiram;
at ang kanyang mga anak ay nagiging pagpapala.
27 Lumayo ka sa masama at gumawa ka ng mabuti;
upang sa magpakailanman ikaw ay manatili.
28 Sapagkat iniibig ng Panginoon ang katarungan,
hindi niya pababayaan ang kanyang mga banal.
Sila'y iingatan magpakailanman,
ngunit ang mga anak ng masama ay ititiwalag.
29 Mamanahin ng matuwid ang lupain,
at maninirahan doon magpakailanman.
30 Ang bibig ng matuwid ay nangungusap ng karunungan,
at ang kanyang dila ay nagsasalita ng katarungan.
31 Ang kautusan ng kanyang Diyos sa puso niya'y taglay,
hindi nadudulas ang kanyang mga hakbang.
32 Inaabangan ng masama ang matuwid na tao,
at pinagsisikapang patayin niya ito.
33 Hindi siya iiwan ng Panginoon sa kanyang kamay,
ni hahayaan siyang maparusahan kapag siya'y nahatulan.
34 Hintayin mo ang Panginoon, at ingatan ang kanyang daan,
at itataas ka niya upang manahin mo ang lupain;
ang pagkawasak ng masama ay iyong pagmamasdan.
35 Nakakita ako ng masama at marahas na tao,
na lumalaganap na gaya ng sariwang punungkahoy sa kanyang lupang tinubuan.
36 Muli akong dumaan at, narito, wala na siya;
kahit hinanap ko siya, hindi na siya makita.
37 Tandaan mo ang taong walang kapintasan, at ang matuwid ay iyong masdan,
sapagkat may hinaharap para sa taong may kapayapaan.
38 Ngunit ang mga sumusuway ay sama-samang pupuksain;
ang susunod na lahi ng masama ay puputulin.
39 Ang kaligtasan ng matuwid ay mula sa Panginoon;
siya ang kanilang kanlungan sa magulong panahon.
40 At sila'y tinutulungan at pinalalaya ng Panginoon;
kanyang pinalalaya sila mula sa masama, at inililigtas sila,
sapagkat sila'y nanganganlong sa kanya.

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)

New King James Version
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.
