Tehillim 37:1-9 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Fret not thyself because of re'im (evildoers); neither have thou kina (jealousy, envy) of the workers of iniquity.

2. For they shall soon be cut down like the khatzir (grass), and wither as the green desheh (herb, plant).

3. Trust in Hashem, and do tov; so shalt thou dwell in the Eretz (land), ure'eh emunah (and thou be pastured securely).

4. Delight thyself also in Hashem, and He shall give thee the desires of thine lev.

5. Commit thy derech (road, way) unto Hashem; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.

6. And He shall bring forth thy tzedakah (righteousness) as the ohr (light), and thy mishpat (justice) as the tzohorayim (noonday).

7. Rest in Hashem, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his derech, because of the ish who bringeth wicked schemes to pass.

8. Cease from anger, and forsake chemah (wrath); fret not thyself in any wise to do rah.

9. For evildoers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon Hashem, they shall inherit the Eretz (land).
