| 37:1 | （大卫的诗）不要为作恶的，心怀不平，也不要向那行不义的，生出嫉妒。 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. | ||
| 37:2 | 因为他们如草快被割下，又如青菜快要枯乾。 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. | ||
| 37:3 | 你当倚靠耶和华而行善。住在地上，以他的信实为粮。 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. | ||
| 37:4 | 又要以耶和华为乐。他就将你心里所求的赐给你。 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. | ||
| 37:5 | 当将你的事交托耶和华，并倚靠他，他就必成全。 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. | ||
| 37:6 | 他要使你的公义，如光发出，使你的公平，明如正午。 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. | ||
| 37:7 | 你当默然倚靠耶和华，耐性等候他。不要因那道路通达的，和那恶谋成就的，心怀不平。 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. | ||
| 37:8 | 当止住怒气，离弃忿怒。不要心怀不平，以致作恶。 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. | ||
| 37:9 | 因为作恶的，必被剪除。惟有等候耶和华的，必承受地土。 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. | ||
| 37:10 | 还有片时，恶人要归于无有。你就细察他的住处，也要归于无有。 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. | ||
| 37:11 | 但谦卑人必承受地土，以丰盛的平安为乐。 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. | ||
| 37:12 | 恶人设谋害义人，又向他咬牙。 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. | ||
| 37:13 | 主要笑他，因见他受罚的日子将要来到。 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. | ||
| 37:14 | 恶人已经弓上弦，刀出鞘，要打倒困苦穷乏的人，要杀害行动正直的人。 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. | ||
| 37:15 | 他们的刀，必刺入自己的心，他们的弓，必被折断。 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. | ||
| 37:16 | 一个义人所有的虽少，强过许多恶人的富馀。 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. | ||
| 37:17 | 因为恶人的膀臂，必被折断。但耶和华是扶持义人。 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. | ||
| 37:18 | 耶和华知道完全人的日子。他们的产业，要存到永远。 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. | ||
| 37:19 | 他们在急难的时候，不至羞愧，在饥荒的日子，必得饱足。 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. | ||
| 37:20 | 恶人却要灭亡。耶和华的仇敌，要像羊羔的脂油。（或作像草地的华美）他们要消灭，要如烟消灭。 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. | ||
| 37:21 | 恶人借货而不偿还。义人却恩待人，并且施舍。 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. | ||
| 37:22 | 蒙耶和华赐福的，必承受地土。被他咒诅的，必被剪除。 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. | ||
| 37:23 | 义人的脚步，被耶和华立定。他的道路，耶和华也喜爱。 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. | ||
| 37:24 | 他虽失脚，也不至全身仆倒。因为耶和华用手搀扶他。（或作搀扶他的手） Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. | ||
| 37:25 | 我从前年幼，现在年老，却未见过义人被弃。也未见过他的后裔讨饭。 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. | ||
| 37:26 | 他终日恩待人，借给人。他的后裔也蒙福。 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. | ||
| 37:27 | 你当离恶行善，就可永远安居。 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. | ||
| 37:28 | 因为耶和华喜爱公平，不撇弃他的圣民。他们永蒙保佑。但恶人的后裔，必被剪除。 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. | ||
| 37:29 | 义人必承受地土，永居其上。 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. | ||
| 37:30 | 义人的口谈论智慧，他的舌头讲说公平。 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. | ||
| 37:31 | 神的律法在他心里。他的脚总不滑跌。 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. | ||
| 37:32 | 恶人窥探义人，想要杀他。 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. | ||
| 37:33 | 耶和华必不撇他在恶人手中，当审判的时候，也不定他的罪。 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. | ||
| 37:34 | 你当等候耶和华，遵守他的道，他就抬举你，使你承受地土。恶人被剪除的时候，你必看见。 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. | ||
| 37:35 | 我见过恶人大有势力，好像一根青翠树在本土生发。 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. | ||
| 37:36 | 有人从那里经过，不料，他没有了。我也寻梢他，却寻不着。 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. | ||
| 37:37 | 你要细察那完全人，观看那正直人。因为和平人有好结局。 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. | ||
| 37:38 | 至于犯法的人，必一同灭绝。恶人终必剪除。 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. | ||
| 37:39 | 但义人得救，是由于耶和华。他在患难时作他们的营寨。 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. | ||
| 37:40 | 耶和华帮助他们，解救他们。他解救他们脱离恶人，把他们救出来，因为他们投靠他。 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. | ||
