Psalm 37
New Life Version
A Safe Place for Those Who Trust in the Lord
37 Do not trouble yourself because of sinful men. Do not want to be like those who do wrong. 2 For they will soon dry up like the grass. Like the green plant they will soon die. 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good. So you will live in the land and will be fed. 4 Be happy in the Lord. And He will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Give your way over to the Lord. Trust in Him also. And He will do it. 6 He will make your being right and good show as the light, and your wise actions as the noon day.
7 Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Do not trouble yourself when all goes well with the one who carries out his sinful plans. 8 Stop being angry. Turn away from fighting. Do not trouble yourself. It leads only to wrong-doing. 9 For those who do wrong will be cut off. But those who wait for the Lord will be given the earth. 10 A little while, and the sinful man will be no more. You will look for his place, and he will not be there. 11 But those who have no pride will be given the earth. And they will be happy and have much more than they need.
12 The sinful man plans against him who is right with God. And he grinds his teeth at him. 13 The Lord laughs at him because He sees his day is coming. 14 The sinful have taken up their sword and their bow, to bring down the poor and those in need, and to kill those whose ways are right. 15 Their sword will cut into their own heart, and their bows will be broken.
16 The few things that the man right with God has is better than the riches of many sinful men. 17 For the arms of the sinful will be broken. But the Lord holds up those who are right with Him. 18 The Lord knows the days of those who are without blame. And what is theirs will last forever. 19 They will not be ashamed in the time of trouble. And in days when there is no food they will have enough. 20 But the sinful will be lost forever. Those who hate the Lord will be like the beauty of the fields. They will be gone. Like smoke they will be gone. 21 The sinful ask for something, but do not return it. But those who are right with God are kind and give. 22 For those who are made happy by Him will be given the land. But those who are being punished by Him will be cut off.
23 The steps of a good man are led by the Lord. And He is happy in his way. 24 When he falls, he will not be thrown down, because the Lord holds his hand. 25 I have been young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the man who is right with God left alone, or his children begging for bread. 26 All day long he is kind and lets others use what he has. And his children make him happy.
27 Turn from sin, and do good, so you will live forever. 28 For the Lord loves what is fair and right. He does not leave the people alone who belong to Him. They are kept forever. But the children of the sinful will be cut off. 29 Those who are right with God will be given the land, and live on it forever. 30 The mouth of the man who is right with God speaks wisdom. And his tongue speaks what is fair and right. 31 The Law of his God is in his heart. His steps do not leave it. 32 The sinful lie in wait for the man who is right with God, and want to kill him. 33 The Lord will not leave him in his power. He will not let him be found guilty when he is judged. 34 Wait for the Lord. Keep His way. And He will give you a high place to receive the land. When the sinful are cut off, you will see it.
35 I have seen a very sinful man spreading himself like a green tree in its home land. 36 Then he passed away and was no more. I looked for him. But he could not be found. 37 Look at the man without blame. And watch the man who is right and good. For the man of peace will have much family to follow him. 38 But all the sinners will be destroyed. The family of the sinful will be cut off. 39 But the saving of those who are right with God is from the Lord. He is their strength in time of trouble. 40 The Lord helps them and takes them out of trouble. He takes them away from the sinful, and saves them, because they go to Him for a safe place.
Salmos 37

Salmo de David.

37 No te irrites a causa de los impíos
ni envidies a los que cometen injusticias;
2 porque pronto se marchitan, como la hierba;
pronto se secan, como el verdor del pasto.

tu justa causa, como el sol de mediodía.

no te irrites ante el éxito de otros,
de los que maquinan planes malvados.

pues sabe que les llegará su hora.
Jet
14 Los malvados sacan la espada y tensan el arco
para abatir al pobre y al necesitado,
para matar a los que viven con rectitud.

y su arco quedará hecho pedazos.

16 Más vale lo poco de un justo
que lo mucho de innumerables malvados;
17 porque el brazo de los impíos será quebrado,
pero el Señor sostendrá a los justos.

acabarán por ser destruidos;
desaparecerán como las flores silvestres,
se desvanecerán como el humo.

pero los justos dan con generosidad.

cuando le agrada su modo de vivir;
24 podrá tropezar, pero no caerá,
porque el Señor lo sostiene de la mano.
Nun
25 He sido joven y ahora soy viejo,
pero nunca he visto justos en la miseria,
ni que sus hijos mendiguen pan.
26 Prestan siempre con generosidad;
sus hijos son una bendición.

27 Apártate del mal y haz el bien,
y siempre tendrás dónde vivir.

y no abandona a quienes le son fieles.
El Señor los protegerá para siempre,
pero acabará con la descendencia de los malvados.

29 Los justos heredarán la tierra,
y por siempre vivirán en ella.

con la intención de matarlos,
33 pero el Señor no los dejará caer en sus manos
ni permitirá que los condenen en el juicio.

y vive según su voluntad,
que él te exaltará para que heredes la tierra.
Cuando los malvados sean destruidos,
tú lo verás con tus propios ojos.

35 He visto al déspota y malvado
extenderse como cedro frondoso.
36 Pero pasó al olvido y dejó de existir;
lo busqué, y ya no pude encontrarlo.

hay porvenir para quien busca la paz.

el porvenir de los malvados será el exterminio.

39 La salvación de los justos viene del Señor;
él es su fortaleza en tiempos de angustia.
40 El Señor los ayuda y los libra;
los libra de los malvados y los salva,
porque en él ponen su confianza.
