Tehillim 37:26-37 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

26. He is ever chonen (generous, merciful; see verse 21), and lendeth; and his zera is blessed.

27. Depart from rah, and do tov; and dwell l'olahm (for evermore).

28. For Hashem loveth mishpat, and forsaketh not His chasidim; they are preserved l'olahm; but the zera resha'im shall be cut off.

29. The tzaddikim shall inherit Eretz, and dwell therein forever.

30. The mouth of the tzaddik speaketh chochmah, and his leshon uttereth mishpat.

31. The torat Elohav is in his lev; no steps of his shall slip.

32. The rashah lieth in wait to ambush the tzaddik, and seeketh to slay him.

33. Hashem will not leave him in his yad (hand, power), nor condemn him b'hishshafto (when he is judged, brought to trial).

34. Wait on Hashem, and be shomer over His Derech, and He shall exalt thee to inherit Eretz; when the resha'im are cut off, thou shalt see it.

35. I have seen the violently powerful rashah, spreading himself like an indigenous green tree.

36. Yet he passed away, and, hinei, he was no more; yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37. Mark the blameless man, and observe the yashar (upright); for the end of that ish is shalom.
