Psalm 37
|
|
| 37:1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the
workers of iniquity. |
"They shall ... wither as the green herb."
Does hell exist?
|
| 37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green
herb.
|
| 37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and
verily thou shalt be fed. |
Those who trust in God and do good, will never be hungry. (Those who starve to death
didn't trust him or did bad things.)
|
| 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of
thine heart. |
If you delight yourself in God, he'll give you whatever you want.
|
| 37:5
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to
pass. |
|
| 37:6
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment
as the noonday. |
|
| 37:7
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
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do
evil. |
|
| 37:9
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they
shall inherit the earth. |
 Jehovah will destroy the bad ones.

|
| 37:10
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
But the meek shall
inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of
peace. |
"The meek shall inherit the
earth." Will they really? In nature they inherit nothing, but die painful
deaths from predation, starvation, and disease.
|
| 37:12
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. |
 "The wicked plotteth against the just."
Has there ever been a just person?
|
| 37:13 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth
that his day is coming. |
"The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth
that his day is coming."
God laughs at those that he will later torment.
|
| 37:14
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
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be
broken. |
|
| 37:16
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many
wicked. |
|
| 37:17
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the
righteous. |
|
| 37:18
The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be
for ever. |
|
| 37:19
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they
shall be satisfied. |
|
| 37:20
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. |
"The wicked shall perish."
Does hell exist?
|
| 37:21
The wicked borroweth,
and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. |
Is it wrong to steal?
|
| 37:22
For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be
cursed of him shall be cut off. |
|
| 37:23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his
way. |
|
| 37:24
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth
him with his hand. |
|
| 37:25
I have been young, and
now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging
bread. |
Is it good to be wealthy?
|
| 37:26
He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. |
|
| 37:27
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. |
|
| 37:28
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
The righteous shall inherit the land,
and dwell therein for ever. |
Will the earth last forever?
|
| 37:30
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of
judgment. |
|
| 37:31
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. |
|
| 37:32
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. |
|
| 37:33
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is
judged. |
|
| 37:34
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
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green
bay tree. |
|
| 37:36
Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could
not be found. |
|
| 37:37
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is
peace. |
|
| 37:38
But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked
shall be cut off. |
|
| 37:39
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in
the time of trouble. |
|
| 37:40
And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from
the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
